The United Kingdom of Stamistorych is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.437 billion Stamistorychians 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, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 42.2%.
The all-consuming Stamistorychian economy, worth 142 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,905 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
Leopards with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, Leader has just been declared ruler of Stamistorych in an international press conference, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stamistorych's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Stamistorych is ranked 27,751st in the world and 1,493rd in Balder for Safest, scoring 110.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
