The Federal Republic of Stalexia is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.307 billion Stalexans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 12.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Stalexan economy, worth 261 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,194 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, and married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine. Crime is totally unknown. Stalexia's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Stalexia is ranked 55,425^th in the world and 3^rd in Lelaris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,691.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
