The Consolidated Unity of Stairs is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Avis Foerstnerg with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.402 billion Stairsten 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 prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stepprevile. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Stairst economy, worth 200 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,637 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, under love's heavy burden Avis Foerstnerg sinks lower in the political right's esteem, spontaneous nocturnal decapitation is considered 'death by natural causes' for enemies of Stairs, and airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stairs's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stairs is ranked 117,918^th in the world and 24^th in Utopeus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 40,397.08 Standard Monetary Units.
