The Republic of Santa Cecilia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 358 million Santa Cecilians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The strong Santa Cecilian economy, worth 19.2 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,546 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,227 per year while the poor average 5,370, a ratio of 52.7 to 1.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Santa Cecilia's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Santa Cecilia is ranked 279,899^th in the world and 1^st in eastern monarchist allience for Most Conservative, scoring 29.17 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
