The Republic of St Nancy is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 16 million St Nancyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case St Nancyian economy, worth 108 billion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 6,811 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Nancy's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

St Nancy is ranked 192,315^th in the world and 1,992^nd in the Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 531.08 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
