The Free Land of Saint Temperance is a huge, genial nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory vegetarianism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 589 million Saint Temperites 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hopestill. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Saint Temperite economy, worth 51.2 trillion mannas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,961 mannas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Temperance's national animal is the lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Temperance is ranked 20,233^rd in the world and 700^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
