The Verbally Abused Boxed Goods of SteamPunkFishTree is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.143 billion SteamPunkFishTreeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SteamPunkFishTree City. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming SteamPunkFishTreean economy, worth a remarkable 2,672 trillion Wood Blocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 106,284 Wood Blocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of SteamPunkFishTree's historical leaders at Mount Rushless, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SteamPunkFishTree's national animal is the Steve, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

SteamPunkFishTree is ranked 154,844th in the world and 8,314th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,694.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
