The Holy Empire of Stankon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ca᷇ Ni᷄k̶t with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.868 billion Stankonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Po᷇k̶o᷄. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Stankonian economy, worth 290 trillion Stanmons a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,719 Stanmons, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (Stankon has found 1 easter egg), the price of freedom is about half a million Stanmons, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, and archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stankon's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Islam.

Stankon is ranked 322,339^th in the world and 102^nd in Der Leibwache for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
