The Kingdom of Stede-Broec NLD is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.936 billion Stede-Broec NLDians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Stede-Broec NLDian economy, worth 434 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,048 euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 574,727 per year while the poor average 26,106, a ratio of 22.0 to 1.

Spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, citizens must pay to enjoy Stede-Broec NLD's pristine beaches, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stede-Broec NLD's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stede-Broec NLD is ranked 30,141^st in the world and 397^th in Aerospace for Most Corrupt Governments, with 71.95 kickbacks per hour.
