The Kingdom of Stalmarc is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Kyrios Rindholm Stal II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.788 billion Stalmarcians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Education and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pantheon. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Stalmarcian economy, worth 452 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,031 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, you can touch grass without leaving your computer, and the armed forces insist that UFOs aren't real... yet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stalmarc's national animal is the Lion Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Stalmarc is ranked 21,118th in the world and 140th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Secular, with 45.84 Atheism Rate.
