The Eco-Socialist Democracy of Statte is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sommo Stattarulo with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.095 billion Stattesi are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gambe di Mazinga. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stattese economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 187,595 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and kindhearted Stattesi generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Statte's national animal is the White Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mazinganism.

Statte is ranked 224,363^rd in the world and 642^nd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.41 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
