The Imperial Commonwealth of Saint Marinas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Murzkull Dur-Djurfúng Hamoff IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.021 billion Saint Marinasai are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mónte Marina. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Marinisian economy, worth 670 trillion knoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,678 knoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Saint Marinas, Emperor Murzkull Dur-Djurfúng Hamoff IV is worshipped as a god, and breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Marinas's national animal is the mallard duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Church of the Emperor.

Saint Marinas is ranked 16,981^st in the world and 268^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 306.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
