The Federation of Stonewick is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Wiggog Y'wrath with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.195 billion Oxventurers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankh-Morpork. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Oxventurial economy, worth 674 trillion one gold pieces a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,359 one gold pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, nobody likes bad boys any more, political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stonewick's national animal is the Ethelfrith's Chosen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stonewick is ranked 86,940^th in the world and 1,794^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 93.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
