The Republic of Stealmandie is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 632 million Stealmandieans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Stealmandiean economy, worth 38.1 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,303 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, and voting is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stealmandie's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stealmandie is ranked 38,032^nd in the world and 16^th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Safest, scoring 106.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
