The Holy Empire of Sanatica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lucifer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, compulsory military service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.2 billion Sanaticans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sanatican economy, worth 83.3 trillion Rocrays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,400 Rocrays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

First-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, books are often used as kindling, and a signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that he is in fact a crook after all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sanatica's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Satanism.

Sanatica is ranked 236,592^nd in the world and 13^th in Thegye for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
