The Most Serene Republic of STL Here is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 20 million STL Hereans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.
The strong STL Herean economy, worth 931 billion Estrogens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 46,585 Estrogens, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, surveillance cameras are banned, and over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes. Crime is moderate. STL Here's national animal is the Double-Headed Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
STL Here is ranked 210,582nd in the world and 3,154th in eta for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.75 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
