“For all good”

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

The State of Staadt is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.646 billion Staadtians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The powerhouse Staadtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,778 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 51,336 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 163,877 per year while the poor average 12,222, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, the youth vote is only counted when kindergarten teachers ask who drew the best picture, immigration test hopefuls are taught immigrant blood is purple, and obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals. Crime is moderate. Staadt's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Staadt is ranked 243,609^th in the world and 319^th in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
