The Republic of SanRocco is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 628 million SanRoccoans 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The powerhouse SanRoccoan economy, worth 62.5 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 99,561 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 505,874 per year while the poor average 10,842, a ratio of 46.7 to 1.

The entire entry for SanRocco in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', racehorses move a lot slower these days, calisthenics is a well-known tax-dodging technique, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SanRocco's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SanRocco is ranked 15,117^th in the world and 253^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,285.18 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
