The Eco-Socialist Democracy of Statte is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sommo Stattarulo with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.205 billion Stattesi enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, 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 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stattese economy, worth a remarkable 1,179 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 190,073 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and hordes of tourists are ruining the environment. 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 7,924^th in the world and 132^nd in Europe for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 92.08 Effective Tax Rate.
