The Most Serene Republic of Studaberger is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Bee King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.181 billion Studabergians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Happy's Funland. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Studabergerian economy, worth 253 trillion kronor 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 mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 79,716 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Studaberger's national animal is the honeybee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Studaberger is ranked 283,781^st in the world and 764^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
