The Democratic Republic of Saint Pauli is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 30.106 billion São Paulinos are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The powerhouse Saint Paulian economy, worth a remarkable 1,492 trillion Reais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,581 Reais, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 187,402 per year while the poor average 9,126, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Saint Pauli's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Saint Pauli is ranked 171,602^nd in the world and 87^th in Emirates of Futurnia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 986.5 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
