The Free Land of Stermaggero is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.138 billion Stermaggeroans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Stermaggeroan economy, worth 781 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 70,151 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,369 per year while the poor average 13,785, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

Convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, all tariffs have been abolished, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Stermaggero's new capital, and citizens must pay to enjoy Stermaggero's pristine beaches. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Stermaggero's national animal is the cow.

Stermaggero is ranked 28,376^th in the world and 3^rd in Union of Free Nations for Most Primitive, scoring 72.32 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
