The Genuine Republic of Staffon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jacob Dagenwarner with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.002 billion Staffonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bradsburg. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Staffonian economy, worth 204 trillion Magins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,912 Magins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, in a baffling press conference Jacob Dagenwarner proudly dismantled a broken door, and engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Staffon's national animal is the Magical Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Staffon is ranked 187,176^th in the world and 7,968^th in Balder for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,964.93 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
