The Holy Empire of South Stanistan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ali Peshmir with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.336 billion South Stanistanis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kabul. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stani economy, worth 313 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,111 Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and builders across South Stanistan are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Stanistan's national animal is the Markhor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

South Stanistan is ranked 106,042nd in the world and 9th in Guinea Kiribati for Most Stationary, with 399.37757078708 days.
