The Republic of Studios is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.802 billion Studiosians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The very strong Studiosian economy, worth 507 trillion singleses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 74,571 singleses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 219,772 per year while the poor average 19,910, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Studios in an international press conference, Studios has designated Studios City as its capital city, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, and a major religion has been named as Studios's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Studios's national animal is the singers.

Studios is ranked 213,784^th in the world and 6^th in Concert for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 197.66 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
