The Quiet Menace of Stabalot is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 19.673 billion Stabalotians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stabalotian economy, worth a remarkable 1,866 trillion baubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,858 baubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

All that glitters is Leader's toilet, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, NationStates staff are easily recognizable by their gold-plated mansions, and airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stabalot's national animal is the Aardvark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Stabalot is ranked 74,597^th in the world and 1^st in Ecuador for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 58.23 Effective Tax Rate.
