The Holy Empire of Kingdom of Stargard is a massive, safe nation, ruled by HRH King Robert XVII with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, triple-decker prams, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.039 billion Stargardians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berg Waldheim. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Stargardian economy, worth 97.1 trillion Talers a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 47,633 Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Stargard's national animal is the White Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ásátru.

Kingdom of Stargard is ranked 230,434^th in the world and 600^th in Europeia for Most Armed, with 0.16 Weapons Per Person.
