The Canonical Society of Saint-Roque is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Monsignor Gonzalo MountStuart with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 23.559 billion Saint-Roqueans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fátima. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Saint-Roquean economy, worth a remarkable 1,327 trillion Scudoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,344 Scudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, Bambi has been banned, and police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint-Roque's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint-Roque is ranked 185,480th in the world and 4th in Saint Margaret Mary for Most Stationary, with 70.0731148754 days.
