The Confederacy of Stewart is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Earl Androcles Stewart with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.739 billion Stewartians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glencoe. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%.

The strong Stewartian economy, worth 557 trillion eagles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 63,767 eagles, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Earl Androcles Stewart has just been declared ruler of Stewart in an international press conference, Christianity has been named as Stewart's national religion, burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, and the nation's most popular sport is sabotaging foreigners' hopes and dreams. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Stewart's national animal is the rhino, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Stewart is ranked 86,440^th in the world and 17^th in The Reich for Largest Populations, with 8.74 billion capita.
