The Protectorate of Saint Dymphna is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Mercedes Nightingale with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.734 billion Dymphnians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Refugium. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Saint Dymphnan economy, worth 318 trillion quents a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,129 quents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Autarky's deemed malarkey as foreign bric-a-brac's brought back, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Dymphna's national animal is the sleepy lovebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saint Dymphna is ranked 10,678^th in the world and 6^th in The Rough Caribbean for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.34 percentage of bribes refused.
