The Haven Realm of Stansu is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Izabella Maldova with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.961 billion Stansui are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fredstad. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Stansui economy, worth 57.4 trillion dalcs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,283 dalcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stansu's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Stansu is ranked 202,321^st in the world and 3,857^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 39.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
