The Republic of St Th is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 21.608 billion St Thians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 21.1%.

The St Thian economy, worth a remarkable 1,221 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,533 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Concussed Death's-head Hawkmothball players cannot remember their lineup position, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, and diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. St Th's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

St Th is ranked 246,387^th in the world and 1^st in Saint Thomas for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.37 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
