Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The The people republic of Stinpus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by alexsting with an iron fist, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.33 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of arkvto. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The nation leads 10000 Islands in per capita stalking, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stinpus's national animal is the chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is greek gods, and its currency is the lant.

Stinpus is ranked 2,634th in 10000 Islands and 129,539th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -10 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
