The Republic of Stota is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 163 million Stotans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Stotan economy, worth 6.59 trillion bools a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,445 bools, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has been nicknamed 'Robomop', the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stota's national animal is the finickfox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stota is ranked 144,544^th in the world and 57^th in The Pacifica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,146.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
