“I would rather call it the Chinese virus”

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

The Federation of Stoniamera is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gabe the dog with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.671 billion Stoniamerans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stoniamera City. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stoniameran economy, worth 490 trillion US DOLLARS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 104,976 US DOLLARS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-US DOLLARS charge on their phone bill, the Stoniameran Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, the streets are ravaged by murder and violence to prove political points, and children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stoniamera's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stoniamera is ranked 45,032^nd in the world and 2,014^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 51,543.26 Standard Monetary Units.
