The Community of Statehouse is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.034 billion Statehouseans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong Statehousean economy, worth 363 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 60,231 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 388,194 per year while the poor average 3,775, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Statehouse's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Statehouse is ranked 240,785^th in the world and 1^st in Frankfort for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
