The Holy Blue Republic of Saint Nicholas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Santa with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, rampant corporate plagiarism, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.522 billion Saint Nicholasians 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Nicholasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,641 trillion Gold Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,002 Gold Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 444,697 per year while the poor average 19,489, a ratio of 22.8 to 1.

School children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists, and puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Nicholas's national animal is the zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Saint Nicholas is ranked 34,537th in the world and 34th in Christmas for Most Stationary, with 1,289.106293027 days.
