The People's Socialist Republic of Stukov is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Premier Leonid Fyodorovich Tereshchenko with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.593 billion Stukovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexeigrad. The average income tax rate is 62.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Stukovian economy, worth 188 trillion yengs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,521 yengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting district maps are said to resemble a tyrannosaurus eating the capital, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stukov's national animal is the eagle and its national religion is Xin Sheng.

Stukov is ranked 282,731^st in the world and 25^th in North Korea for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -10.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
