The Commonwealth of Santhiago is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 14 million Santhiagoans 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 8.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Santhiagoan economy, worth 903 billion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 64,465 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown. Santhiago's national animal is the Hishi Akebono, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Santhiago is ranked 10,783^rd in the world and 53^rd in Starlight for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.34 percentage of bribes refused.
