The Eco-Socialist Democracy of Statte is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Sommo Stattarulo with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.775 billion Stattesi 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gambe di Mazinga. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stattese economy, worth a remarkable 1,041 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 180,303 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Stattesi, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. 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 300,504^th in the world and 812^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.18 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
