The Federation of Federative Stygia is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.622 billion Stygians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong Stygian economy, worth 108 trillion Stygian Robolyas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 67,120 Stygian Robolyas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,476 per year while the poor average 14,626, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, students cut up leftover Stygian Robolyas during Arts and Crafts, roads are littered with memorials for roadkill, and fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Federative Stygia's national animal is the Stygian Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Federative Stygia is ranked 294,064^th in the world and 21^st in Banfield for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 7.5 Effective Tax Rate.
