The Queendom of Stantenople is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Scarlett Frost with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.535 billion Stantenopleans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caledonia. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stantenoplean economy, worth a remarkable 4,718 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 254,590 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stantenople's national animal is the Clouded Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stantenople is ranked 292,609^th in the world and 1^st in Zenithia for Most Primitive, scoring -965.29 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
