The Stunning Stags of Staxus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by field commander Justin Conway with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.159 billion Stags are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Interregional Command Mothership. The average income tax rate is 81.4%.

The large but inefficient Staxian economy, worth 159 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,427 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes, and the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Staxus's national animal is the European Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Staxus is ranked 94,050^th in the world and 4,913^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
