The United Kingdom of Stone Darrow is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 12.829 billion Stone Darrowians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Stone Darrowian economy, worth 543 trillion Kroons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,383 Kroons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stone Darrow's national animal is the Slave Worker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stone Darrow is ranked 121,163^rd in the world and 45^th in ainulindale for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 666.5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
