The Dominion of Stephend is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 2.678 billion Stephendians 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 prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Stephendian economy, worth 65.3 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,368 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, surveillance cameras are banned, and the nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stephend's national animal is the panther.

Stephend is ranked 154,041^st in the world and 3^rd in Southern Africa for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 369.59 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
