Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Stupendous Land is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Stupendous Man with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 947 million Stupendous Landians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Octopus City. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Stupendous Landian economy, worth 32.8 trillion Currency Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 34,622 Currency Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, the government's stance on marriage is 'Let Stupendous Landians marry themselves', all guns must be registered, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stupendous Land's national animal is the Giant Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Stupendous Land is ranked 92,167^th in the world and 892^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
