The City of Stettin is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.726 billion Stettners are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.7%.

The Stettner economy, worth 748 trillion reichsmarks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 31,534 reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, Stettin has designated Stettin City as its capital city, a major religion has been named as Stettin's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Stettin in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stettin's national animal is the eagle.

Stettin is ranked 189,738^th in the world and 4,490^th in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.63 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
