The Sign of STOP is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons and public floggings. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.507 billion Citizens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.

The very strong STOPian economy, worth 275 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 49,937 currencies, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Swings are banned for being a danger to children, newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. STOP's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

STOP is ranked 327,151^st in the world and 20^th in Flimsily Constructed Cardboard Box for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring -3.16 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
