The New Order Empire of Stevencousin is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Dr Oscar Razorwicks with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, unlimited-speed roads, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.745 billion Stevenians 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.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cassaholm. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stevencousinian economy, worth 779 trillion Stevanias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,650 Stevanias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, Stevencousinian TV is considered cruel and unusual punishment in other countries, business owners who refuse to hire ex-cons often wake up with a field mouse's head in their bed, and the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stevencousin's national animal is the field mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mixer.

Stevencousin is ranked 275,187^th in the world and 8^th in Zecrarth for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -9.95 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
