The Food Founder of Steak is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning pig population. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.639 billion Steakians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steakhouse. The average income tax rate is 14.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Steakian economy, worth 557 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 57,880 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Steak in an international press conference, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Steak's national animal is the pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Steak is ranked 101,708^th in the world and 1^st in Food for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,383.94 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
