The Democratic Republic of Stumphosse Res is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.149 billion Stumphosse Residents enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morbon. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Stumphosse Resident economy, worth 145 trillion Resas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,571 Resas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

City workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stumphosse Res's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Stumphosse Res is ranked 137,248^th in the world and 670^th in Europe for Highest Drug Use, scoring 58 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
