The Holy Empire of Sanatica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lucifer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.083 billion Sanaticans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sanatican economy, worth 66.8 trillion Rocrays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 61,678 Rocrays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed, female brains are believed to heat up dangerously when 'overclocked', Sanatica is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sanatica's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Satanism.

Sanatica is ranked 16,953^rd in the world and 4^th in Thegye for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,719.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
