The Democratic Republic of Sters Nouth Gilly is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Nathaniel Cross with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.304 billion Sters Nouth Gillyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agosbury. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sters Nouth Gillyian economy, worth 243 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,589 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat, edutainment video games are taking Sters Nouth Gilly's students to the next level, an enfeebled opposition party spends most of its time simply trying to stay on the ballot, and scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Falcon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sters Nouth Gilly's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sters Nouth Gilly is ranked 102,238^th in the world and 193^rd in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 216.56 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
