The People's Republic of San Toreno is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by El Patron with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.611 billion San Torenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santana. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient San Torenoan economy, worth 782 trillion Gils a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,408 Gils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and the government guarantees that tourists will have the ultimate trip on their trips. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. San Toreno's national animal is the ocelot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shamanism.

San Toreno is ranked 169,537^th in the world and 632^nd in Talonia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 535.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
