The State of Saint James Knights is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-working, democratic population of 15.034 billion Saint James Knightsians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.4%.

The very strong Saint James Knightsian economy, worth 884 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 58,806 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, Saint James Knights has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Saint James Knights in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Saint James Knights's national animal is the deer.

Saint James Knights is ranked 230,714^th in the world and 5^th in Manchester for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
