The Colony of Stalanatistan is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 9.765 billion Stalanatistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Stalanatistanian economy, worth 390 trillion stalas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 40,021 stalas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and stray cats threaten the fledgling avian-based internet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stalanatistan's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Stalanatistan is ranked 118,234^th in the world and 266^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,004.16 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
