The Afrikaner State of Stedicules is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Dak with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.229 billion Stediculans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adytum and Utuus. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stediculan economy, worth a remarkable 1,952 trillion Radacks a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 120,314 Radacks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Funding for education has been redirected into the military, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, police officers ride the swiftest Saltwater Crocodiles, and drug-related crimes carry the death penalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Stedicules's national animal is the Saltwater Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Nativism.

Stedicules is ranked 268,370th in the world and 10,211th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
