The Democratic Republic of St Pax is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Peter Michael Benson with an even hand, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.834 billion St Paxians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benson. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong St Paxian economy, worth 190 trillion Paxis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,388 Paxis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, being Peter Michael Benson has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Pax's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

St Pax is ranked 128,512^th in the world and 1,821^st in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 12.51 flags saluted per person per day.
