The Democratic Republic of Stumphosse Res is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 750 million Stumphosse Residents are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Stumphosse Resident economy, worth 54.0 trillion resas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,019 resas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Leader's credibility no favours, fruit pickers with degrees in emu psychology are a common sight, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Stumphosse Res's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stumphosse Res is ranked 55,967^th in the world and 556^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 72,019.12 Standard Monetary Units.
