The God Ordained Feudal States of Generic Stoman is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by General Stoman with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.455 billion Generic Stomanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chroma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Generic Stomanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,185 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,025 guilders, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 355,560 per year while the poor average 12,015, a ratio of 29.6 to 1.

Posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Generic Stoman has found 1 easter egg), popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Generic Stoman's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Genericism.

Generic Stoman is ranked 310,922nd in the world and 64th in The Dudlands for Nicest Citizens, with 0.68 average smiles per day.
