The Volunteer Army of Statosnat is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexei Navalshoskatov with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 2.048 billion Statosnatians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Statosnatian economy, worth 256 trillion Statswerks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,303 Statswerks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Statosnat's radio stations, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, Alexei Navalshoskatov's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, and a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Alexei Navalshoskatov. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Statosnat's national animal is the Parakeet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Statosnat is ranked 325,277^th in the world and 1,061^st in The Frontier Sea for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 19.61 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
