The Federation of Stoniamera is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gabe the dog with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.329 billion Stoniamerans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stoniamera City. The average income tax rate is 58.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stoniameran economy, worth 758 trillion US DOLLARS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,429 US DOLLARS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, nobody is forced to join the armed forces, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stoniamera's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stoniamera is ranked 17,974^th in the world and 545^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 66.72 quips per hour.
