The Presidential Republic of Stumphosse Res is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 8.376 billion Stumphosse Residents enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morbon. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stumphosse Resident economy, worth 687 trillion Resas a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,090 Resas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, there's a hole in the heart of every Stumphosse Resident city, and landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stumphosse Res's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Stumphosse Res is ranked 191,677^th in the world and 947^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 88.96 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
