The Tour de Force of Stujenske is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Steven Wilson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.051 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, the Environment, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5%. 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.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, smoking is banned in public areas, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Stujenske's national animal is the Redneck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Im not giving my name to a machine.

Stujenske is ranked 876th in Lazarus and 21,274th in the world for Longest Average Lifespans, scoring 20 on the Enoch Index.
