The Demonic Cult of Saint Stalker is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.098 billion Saint Stalkerians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The strong Saint Stalkerian economy, worth 376 trillion Souls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 61,700 Souls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 397,666 per year while the poor average 3,867, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Saint Stalker's national animal is the Hell Hound, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Saint Stalker is ranked 324,144^th in the world and 11^th in Heaven for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -12.65 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
