“Lead by our history, leading our future.”

The Protectorate of Staunca is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.305 billion Stauncans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.1%.

The Stauncan economy, worth 725 trillion Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 50,695 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Staunca's national animal is the Cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Staunca is ranked 233,039^th in the world and 4,745^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
