The Federation of Stalkeri is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Serge with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.175 billion Stalkerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pripyat. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stalkerian economy, worth 789 trillion Coupons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 152,595 Coupons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, news headlines suggest that Serge has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, and old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stalkeri's national animal is the Chimera, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Сталкерство.

Stalkeri is ranked 66,765^th in the world and 3^rd in Franz Josef Land for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,265.17 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
