The Blest Revolutionary Republic of Staidear is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Speaker Drusilla Kent with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.014 billion Staidish are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caelomire. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Staidish economy, worth a remarkable 7,070 trillion Staidish Chestnuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 371,881 Staidish Chestnuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, cloud nine refers to the top floor of skyscrapers, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, and commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Staidear's national animal is the Staidish Mountain Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Fellowship of the Four Gates.

Staidear is ranked 2,749th in the world and 6th in Declansburg for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,818.63 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
