The Federal Republic of Stolzia is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 124 million Stolzians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Stolzian economy, worth 2.42 trillion Stolzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 19,495 Stolzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Stolzians, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, survivors of the Great Internet Flame War often recount horror stories of banhammers and DOS attacks, and senior literature classes are left analysing why Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is so darn sunny. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stolzia's national animal is the Eagle.

Stolzia is ranked 54,532^nd in the world and 625^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 101.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
