The Holy Empire of Stinland is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 704 million Stinlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The strong Stinlandian economy, worth 39.4 trillion rupees a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 55,919 rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 161,165 per year while the poor average 15,405, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Notable individuals are granted land and titles, the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, parents receive hefty fines for telling kids to eat their vegetables, and innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Stinland's national animal is the leopard.

Stinland is ranked 306,438^th in the world and 16,035^th in Osiris for Most Conservative, scoring 15.11 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
