The Republic of Styldavia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yulia Zabolotna with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.968 billion Styldavians 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 Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyrih. The average income tax rate is 37.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Styldavian economy, worth 529 trillion dalers a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,422 dalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Concussed nightingaleball players cannot remember their lineup position, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-daler charge on their phone bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Styldavia's national animal is the nightingale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pravic Oremianism.

Styldavia is ranked 261,455^th in the world and 8^th in Coldonia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
