The Kingdom of Stumhood is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 98 million Stumhoodians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Stumhoodian economy, worth 4.92 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,153 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, it turns out you can put a price on sporting integrity, most people learn to drive on crash courses, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime is totally unknown. Stumhood's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Stumhood is ranked 32,452nd in the world and 27th in Wintercrest for Safest, scoring 108.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
