The Dominion of Stes Eastan is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 459 million Stes Eastanians 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 is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Education, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Industry is ignored. The average income tax rate is 24.0%.

The Stes Eastanian economy, worth 19.5 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,536 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Marks each year, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stes Eastan's national animal is the Laser robot raptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stes Eastan is ranked 272,868^th in the world and 4^th in MHBs New Frontier for Largest Populations, with 459 million capita.
