The Confederacy of Stanvrin is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Froggus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.828 billion Stanvrinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Movinia. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Stanvrinian economy, worth 269 trillion Stanvrinian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 147,381 Stanvrinian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign militaries are taking a particular interest in the nation's abandoned borders and cities, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, the government is seen as openly hostile to all religion, and the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Stanvrin's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Stanvrin is ranked 187,242^nd in the world and 47^th in Thaecia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,173.7 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
