The United States of Santo Espirito is a small, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 29 million Santo Espiritoans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.
The very strong Santo Espiritoan economy, worth 1.72 trillion Machadinhos a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 59,384 Machadinhos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,309 per year while the poor average 15,691, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.
Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, women mime their gynaecological symptoms with hand-puppets, Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Santo Espirito City generates millions of views, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Santo Espirito's national animal is the Cachorro caramelo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Santo Espirito is ranked 42,413th in the world and 3rd in RIUVV for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 3.63 Bank.
