The Democratic States of Stupis is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.023 billion Stupis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siputs. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Stupisian economy, worth 241 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,747 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and trust-fund babies line up for places in community college. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stupis's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Stupis is ranked 258,205^th in the world and 6^th in The Potato Union for Most Developed, scoring 52.03 on the Human Development Index.
