The Red Curtains of Stateazar is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Thespis Broadway III with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.803 billion Stateazarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Teatro City. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stateri economy, worth a remarkable 1,146 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,129 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, and the media seems excessively interested in what President Thespis Broadway III is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stateazar's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stateazar is ranked 6,503^rd in the world and 19^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,548.23 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
