The Community of Stuant is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Friedel with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.442 billion Stuantians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonobo Vale. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Stuantian economy, worth 585 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,993 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Stuant, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Bonobo Vale Times is sold out, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stuant's national animal is the bonobo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stuant is ranked 326,722^nd in the world and 1,259^th in Concord for Rudest Citizens, with 5.79 insults per minute.
