The Kingdom of Stocuria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by PM Zaw Win Maung with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.317 billion Stocurians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maingnar. The average income tax rate is 35.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Stocurian economy, worth 167 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 127,142 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

No one is quite sure what many government officials look like, unprotected royals have replaced their corgis with rottweilers, the government has enacted freedom of information, and the paparazzi publicize Royal scandals with the utmost delight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stocuria's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Stocuria is ranked 22,801st in the world and 10th in Der Leibwache for Most Developed, scoring 86.29 on the Human Development Index.
