The Police State of Steveoville is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Steve with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, enslaved workforce, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 40.687 billion Steveovilleans 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stevetown. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Steveovillean economy, worth an astonishing 16,739 trillion Stevniks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 411,411 Stevniks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,497,588 per year while the poor average 30,156, a ratio of 82.8 to 1.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Steve's throne, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and big game hunters travel to Steveoville to try their hand at shark-shooting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Steveoville's national animal is the Stevovitch, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stevian.

Steveoville is ranked 397th in the world and 2nd in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 5,514.66313728 days.
