The Eco-Socialist Democracy of Statte is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Sommo Stattarulo with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.388 billion Stattesi enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, 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 Gambe di Mazinga. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stattese economy, worth a remarkable 1,110 trillion Euros 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 173,799 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, soup kitchens are the only things doing roaring business, businesses are required to round down their profits, and flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug. Crime is totally unknown. Statte's national animal is the White Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mazinganism.

Statte is ranked 306,779^th in the world and 781^st in Europe for Most Devout, with 2.93 prayers per hour.
