The Fiefdom of Stewiacke is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 13.791 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grande-Rivière. The average income tax rate is 96%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Stewiacke's radio stations. Crime is totally unknown. Stewiacke's national animal is the dead moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the worthless paper.

Stewiacke is ranked 1st in 000 Nudist Dreamland and 22,774th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 26 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
