The Federal Republic of Studistan is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, digital currency, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.096 billion Studistanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 34.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Studistanian economy, worth 695 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 169,895 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Studistan's radio stations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Studistan's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Studistan is ranked 122,867^th in the world and 4,734^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 4.10 billion capita.
