The Protectorate of Stipulation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 45.317 billion Stipulationians 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 prioritizes Environment, with Welfare, Spirituality, and Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid and Administration are ignored. The average income tax rate is 14.9%.

The strong Stipulationian economy, worth a remarkable 1,996 trillion kirras a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,051 kirras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, roads are often backed up with round-the-clock construction crews., waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Stipulation's national animal is the krayt dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Stipulation is ranked 1^st in the world and 1^st in Tarn Vedra for Lowest Crime Rates, with zero law-abiding acts per hour.
