The Queendom of Stephalvia is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.801 billion Stephalvians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Stephalvian economy, worth 171 trillion florins a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,998 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stephalvia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stephalvia is ranked 93,460^th in the world and 3^rd in Solaris for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,139.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
