The Most Serene Republic of Stinnobar is a mid-sized, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants.

The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 36,962 Pvilstrahns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stinnobar's national animal is the Brown Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
