The Holy Empire of Stukus Alleberd is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.374 billion Stukus Alleberdians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Stukus Alleberdian economy, worth a remarkable 4,915 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 300,181 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', Stukus Alleberdians are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom, and police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stukus Alleberd's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Stukus Alleberd is ranked 157,968th in the world and 4th in Arrgh for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 969.15 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
