The Principality of Stolos is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 50 million Stolians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 10.4%.

The Stolosian economy, worth 2.40 trillion Goetic Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,939 Goetic Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Stolians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stolos's national animal is the Goetic Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Stolos is ranked 172,693^rd in the world and 2,427^th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,024.97 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
