The United Socialist States of Statesia is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 303 million Statesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soln. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Statesian economy, worth 14.5 trillion State Dollars 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 47,731 State Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Statesia's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
