The Very Large Safari Park of Los Santos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sam with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 43.44 billion Los Santosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Small Village. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Los Santosian economy, worth an astonishing 43,773 trillion Planet Sized Wine Gums a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 1,007,685 Planet Sized Wine Gums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form, modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days, Sam signs the laws but abides by none of them, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Los Santos's national animal is the Batman, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Toastology.

Los Santos is ranked 286,059^th in the world and 4^th in Nintendo for Safest, scoring 1.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
