The Grand Golden Sunflower Duchy of Stollberg-Stolberg is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Daniel Ar von Gerk zu Stollberg-Stolberg with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.958 billion Stollberg-Stolbergians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stollberg. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Stollberg-Stolbergian economy, worth a remarkable 2,264 trillion Goldweilers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 227,403 Goldweilers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stollberg-Stolberg's national animal is the Lovebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bergisch Christianity.

Stollberg-Stolberg is ranked 238,589th in the world and 2,625th in the Pacific for Nudest, with 80.25 cheeks per square mile.
