The Republic of Saint Thomas sur Mer is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Meursault with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 21.279 billion Saint Thomasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alcasre. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Thomas sur Merian economy, worth a remarkable 6,657 trillion ducats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 312,872 ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Chancellor Meursault, tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, aspiring pilots must be personally vetted by the Minister of Transportation before receiving their license, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime is totally unknown. Saint Thomas sur Mer's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Saint Thomas sur Mer is ranked 1,615th in the world and 4th in Federation of Planets Headquarters for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 22,829.95 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
