The Eco-Socialist Democracy of Statte is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Sommo Stattarulo with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.239 billion Stattesi enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, 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 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stattese economy, worth a remarkable 1,191 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 190,923 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, the government is avowedly secular, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 91,022^nd in the world and 279^th in Europe for Highest Drug Use, scoring 194.5 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
