Saint-Baptiste (Baptistois Creole: Sen Batis), officially the Republic of Saint-Jean-Baptiste (Principean: République de Saint-Jean-Baptiste; Baptistois Creole: Repiblik Sen Jan Batis), is an island country located in the Rum Gulf of the Demontean Ocean, to the west of Amandine and Audonia. Both the smallest sovereign country in the world by both population and area, Saint-Baptiste is one of Marceaunia's major tourism destinations in the present day.

Originally colonized by Vervillia in 1551, the island of Saint-Baptiste was later annexed into Blaykish control, where it formed a dedicated cash crop economy based on primarily the cultivation of sugar, tobacco, and coffee, the latter dominating Baptistois exports in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, harvested mainly by an enslaved population during the colonial period.
