The Supreme Dictatorship of Stylandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Absolute Lord Supreme Styles with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, rampant corporate plagiarism, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.132 billion Stylandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Styla. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Stylander economy, worth a remarkable 2,713 trillion Iron Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing 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. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 206,651 Iron Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enterprising game developers are a hop, skip, and a double-jump away from arrest, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Stylander restaurants, many say faith is a crutch for those who can't move forward, and jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stylandia's national animal is the Bullfrog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stylism.

Stylandia is ranked 291,705th in the world and 11,254th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -19.44 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
