The Spirit of Jolly Old St Nicholas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and notable for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.823 billion Elves have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the North Pole. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Elvish economy, worth a remarkable 1,670 trillion Candy Canes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,308 Candy Canes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, jackboots have given the boot to the nobility, and things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jolly Old St Nicholas's national animal is the Flying Reindeer, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is UղOгtҺodox Christianity.
Jolly Old St Nicholas is ranked 53,168th in the world and 56th in Christmas for Most Stationary, with 831.51112061032 days.
