The Imperial kaiserreich of St Petersbury is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Kaiserin Sofia wintersburg with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 5.663 billion St Petersburians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adenapolis City. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient St Petersburian economy, worth a remarkable 1,043 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 184,230 Imperial Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, the government's policy is 'all pain, no grain', and pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable. Crime is totally unknown. St Petersbury's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

St Petersbury is ranked 5,327^th in the world and 92^nd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 549.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
