The Former Land of Cartographers of Stefoland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mannu Markhoin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, aversion to nipples, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.415 billion Stefolandeses 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 large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solaris. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stefolandian economy, worth 639 trillion Stefolandese Europas 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,160 Stefolandese Europas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Stefoland's national animal is the Francesco Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stefoland is ranked 6,896^th in the world and 59^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 40.7 average smiles per day.
