The Federal Republic of Stutzist is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aleksai Helgesen with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.43 billion Stutzins 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alting. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Stutzistian economy, worth 103 trillion Stutzoes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,667 Stutzoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stutzist's national animal is the Marbled Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

Stutzist is ranked 220,465^th in the world and 199^th in Lands End for Most Beautiful Environments, with 399.31 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
