The Eco-Socialist Democracy of Statte is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Sommo Stattarulo with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.072 billion Stattesi 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 large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gambe di Mazinga. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stattese economy, worth a remarkable 1,138 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 187,494 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, fish with fish chips have become the new Stattese food staple, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Statte's national animal is the White Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mazinganism.

Statte is ranked 306,619^th in the world and 844^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 2.56 Obesity Rate.
