The Community of Stuant is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Friedel with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.259 billion Stuantians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonobo Vale. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Stuantian economy, worth 547 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 168,048 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school bands practice by moonlight, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stuant's national animal is the bonobo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stuant is ranked 18,850^th in the world and 26^th in Concord for Highest Average Incomes, with 168,048.76 Standard Monetary Units.
