The United Kingdom of Steviland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Stephanous John with a fair hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.977 billion Stevilandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcellona. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stevilandian economy, worth 433 trillion ruttles a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,091 ruttles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, Stephanous John's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face', the Steviland Mental Asylum Party have recently won seats in parliament, and rare steaks seem even bluer now. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Steviland's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Believe in Yourself.

Steviland is ranked 6,504^th in the world and 203^rd in the South Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 17.87 bananas ingested per day.
