The United Queendom of Stonecroft is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 8.509 billion Stonecroftans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westfields. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stonecroftish economy, worth a remarkable 1,321 trillion stones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 155,351 stones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stonecroftish husbands are dead good at fathering kids, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Stonecroft's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stonecroft is ranked 10,069^th in the world and 1^st in Friends of Dexter for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,668.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
