The Socialist Republic of Stovonia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Premier Vorkolov with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.31 billion Stovonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Social Policy, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slava Goroda. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stovonian economy, worth 843 trillion Standarts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,414 Standarts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surprising numbers of poor people are protesting against taxing the rich, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Stovonia, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stovonia's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stovonia is ranked 121,213^th in the world and 5,385^th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 13.21 flags saluted per person per day.
