The Standard Military Cartridge of S Patrone is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.022 billion S Patroneans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.2%.

The frighteningly efficient S Patronean economy, worth 422 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,863 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,310 per year while the poor average 25,795, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping, statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, the arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism, and citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. S Patrone's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

S Patrone is ranked 55,172^nd in the world and 18^th in Krupp Industriekomplex for Most Developed, scoring 76.23 on the Human Development Index.
