The Federation of Stepania Republic is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Karzhi Valancha with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.109 billion Stepanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zhenchar. The average income tax rate is 36.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Stepanian economy, worth 169 trillion harchaks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 152,638 harchaks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, foreign leaders who don't applaud Karzhi Valancha's speeches are regarded as enemies of Stepania Republic, and god-fearing citizens can be seen in prayer circles around the Big Max impact crater. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stepania Republic's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Stepania Republic is ranked 69,563^rd in the world and 36^th in The Free Nations Region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,469.63 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
