The Serene State of Santa Evita is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Madeline Annetta with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.058 billion Evitans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol Madre. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Evitan economy, worth 94.2 trillion Rosas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is 89,029 Rosas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Evitans, and religious education is a new government priority. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Santa Evita's national animal is the Lark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Santa Evita is ranked 99,839^th in the world and 852^nd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 85.56 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
