“Forward comrades!”

The Communist Federation of Stoklomolvi is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.667 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Book Publishing.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stoklomolvi's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the stoklomov.

Stoklomolvi is ranked 1st in the region and 1,272nd in the world for Rudest Citizens.
