The Grant of Stampione is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Giordano Savarino with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 23.762 billion Stampionese are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stampione. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.2%.

The very strong Stampionese economy, worth a remarkable 1,064 trillion livroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,800 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 136,856 per year while the poor average 11,367, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Stampione has designated Stampione as its capital city, Giordano Savarino has just been declared ruler of Stampione in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Stampione's national religion. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Stampione's national animal is the channel lungfish and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Stampione is ranked 175,268^th in the world and 36^th in Grant for Most Secular, with 16.91 Atheism Rate.
