The Free Land of The Steephills is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Gunnar with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.879 billion Steephillsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asgard. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Steephillsian economy, worth 313 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, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 108,842 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned, emergency services don't respond to trailer park fires, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, and married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Steephills's national animal is the Rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Steephills is ranked 208,934^th in the world and 310^th in The Communist Bloc for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.48 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
