The Federal Republic of Stutzist is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aleksai Helgesen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.659 billion Stutzins have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alting. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Stutzistian economy, worth 129 trillion Stutzoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,792 Stutzoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Stutzist successfully hosted the Lands End Olympics, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stutzist's national animal is the Marbled Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is None.

Stutzist is ranked 44,969^th in the world and 68^th in Lands End for Healthiest Citizens, with 6.08 bananas ingested per day.
