The Statelessness of Stateless People is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.071 billion Stateless Peopleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Stateless Peoplean economy, worth 132 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 63,943 Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Stateless People City. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stateless People's national animal is the Whatever Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stateless People is ranked 95,950^th in the world and 3^rd in Steppe for Most Developed, scoring 62.41 on the Human Development Index.
