The Most Serene Republic of San Medici is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Presidenta Constancia Calascione with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.7 billion San Medicians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad De San Medici. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient San Medician economy, worth a remarkable 2,018 trillion Denarii a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 231,987 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, and therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads. Crime is totally unknown. San Medici's national animal is the Golden pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

San Medici is ranked 1,475^th in the world and 35^th in the Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 312.54 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
