The Chromodynamic Flavour of Stones is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mafia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.164 billion Stons'rs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flinton. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stonsian economy, worth 167 trillion A-dull rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 144,156 A-dull rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, joggers are often arrested for breathing too heavily, few that venture into government archives are ever seen again, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stones's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Guns.

Stones is ranked 48,822^nd in the world and 68^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,004.06 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
