The Kingdom of Saint Arsenio is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by King Macio with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 17.296 billion Saint Arsenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Glennwood. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Arsenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,944 trillion Arsenian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,239 Arsenian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prospective foster parents like to shop around, gymnasts are in awe at the amount of hoops army applicants must jump through, the state-controlled media salutes those about to spy, and elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Arsenio's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Saint Arsenio is ranked 5,608^th in the world and 4^th in Empire of Great Britain for Most Cultured, scoring 149 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
