The SSR of The Steephills is a massive, safe nation, ruled by the Steephillsian People's Party with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.461 billion Steephillsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asgard. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Steephillsian economy, worth 559 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 125,329 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judges who serve for life or good behavior can expect to stay for a week, Roosters are considered a delicacy, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, and Steephillsian husbands are dead good at fathering kids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Steephills's national animal is the Rooster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Steephills is ranked 7,362^nd in the world and 154^th in The Communist Bloc for Healthiest Citizens, with 16.94 bananas ingested per day.
