The Republic of Stormandia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Dario Verstuk with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 9.565 billion Stormandians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stukograd. The average income tax rate is 26.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stormandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,664 trillion WICS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 174,041 WICS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

High school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, anyone who sleeps in past 9am can be declared legally dead, it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, and the media have begun calling the government treasury "Dario Verstuk's stash". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Stormandia's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Starizam.

Stormandia is ranked 39,356^th in the world and 1^st in Iztok for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
