The Holy Empire of Stankon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ca᷇ Ni᷄k̶t with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.005 billion Stankonians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Po᷇k̶o᷄. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Stankonian economy, worth 293 trillion Stanmons a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 146,088 Stanmons, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists take credit every time it rains in Der Leibwache, private law firms are unheard of, the government spends countless taxpayer Stanmons on preserving soundbites of toddlers banging on pots and pans, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stankon's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Islam.

Stankon is ranked 24,145^th in the world and 11^th in Der Leibwache for Most Developed, scoring 85.78 on the Human Development Index.
