The Caffeinated Confederation of Statesburg is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Head Comrade Boston O'Cannon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.056 billion Statesburgi hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citystadt. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Statesburgonian economy, worth 330 trillion proletarivouchers 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 and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 160,579 proletarivouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive. Crime is totally unknown. Statesburg's national animal is the enraged leftist, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Correctly Used Apostrophes.

Statesburg is ranked 150,550^th in the world and 285^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 433.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
