The Republic of Stagorod is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ivan Zelonskyy with an even hand, and notable for its suspicion of poets and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 4.647 billion Stagorodians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novograd. The average income tax rate is 50.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Stagorodian economy, worth 266 trillion Stagorodian Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,454 Stagorodian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, a third of Stagorodians are e-certified CEOs, and the writing style of religious hymns often changes mid-stanza. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stagorod's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Church.

Stagorod is ranked 197,146^th in the world and 294^th in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
