The Kingdom of Stalmarc is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Kyrios Rindholm Stal II with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.63 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 government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Education and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pantheon. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Stalmarcian economy, worth 420 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 160,062 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and King Kyrios Rindholm Stal II's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army. 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 32,327^th in the world and 86^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Black Market, with 52.8 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
