The Republic of You cant Stopistan is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Stan with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.707 billion You cant Stopistanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stopistan. The average income tax rate is 30.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The You cant Stopistanian economy, worth 676 trillion peas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 63,216 peas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Stan For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Stan's supporters, angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, and the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You cant Stopistan's national animal is the cob, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

You cant Stopistan is ranked 302,114^th in the world and 6^th in Axis of Absurdity for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 248.42 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
