The Most Serene Republic of Stolem is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.378 billion Stolemians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Stolemian economy, worth 144 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 26,839 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Stolem's national animal is the giraffe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Stolem is ranked 125,551^st in the world and 6,134^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
