The Goodbye of Stelmund is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Felix Ignatius with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The democratic population of 2.505 billion Stelmundians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cità di Stelmund. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stelmundian economy, worth 357 trillion Stellas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,901 Stellas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Emperor Felix Ignatius's Twitcher account is typically used to share L'acula audace memes rather than government policy, the government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, a flying elephant and Emperor Felix Ignatius share the same nickname, and the number of students attending university has reached a record high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Stelmund's national animal is the L'acula audace, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Laism.

Stelmund is ranked 31,301^st in the world and 794^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 108.73 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
