The People's Republic of Stupendous Land is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 879 million Stupendous Landians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Stupendous Landian economy, worth 25.2 trillion Currency Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 28,670 Currency Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Calling dibs is an unalienable right, the "good old days" of road traffic accidents and smog-filled cities are back, planespotters are emigrating in droves, and children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stupendous Land's national animal is the Giant Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Stupendous Land is ranked 83,181^st in the world and 867^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,519.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
