The Kingdom of Santa Pace is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by His Majesty the King of Santa Pace with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.646 billion Santa Paceans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ulula. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Santa Pacean economy, worth 574 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,650 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Santa Pace's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Santa Pace is ranked 212,740^th in the world and 1,099^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.2 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
