The Democratic Republic of Studhamistan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vlad Impaler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.639 billion Studhamists are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maxbarryton. The average income tax rate is 66.3%.

The very strong Studhamistanian economy, worth 179 trillion Leaves a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,888 Leaves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Being Vlad Impaler has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and there's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Studhamistan's national animal is the Skunk, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Divine Leader Worship.

Studhamistan is ranked 229,962^nd in the world and 8,615^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 22,878.59 Standard Monetary Units.
