The United Commonwealth of Stauton is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Klaus Sigil VI with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.502 billion Stautonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of United. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Stautonian economy, worth 187 trillion Commonwealth Credits 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 mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 74,826 Commonwealth Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stauton's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Stauton is ranked 213,192^nd in the world and 2^nd in Coalition for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
