The Grand Golden Sunflower Duchy of Stollberg-Stolberg is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Daniel Ar von Gerk zu Stollberg-Stolberg with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 8.708 billion Stollberg-Stolbergians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stollberg. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Stollberg-Stolbergian economy, worth a remarkable 1,814 trillion Goldweilers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 208,320 Goldweilers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stollberg-Stolberg's national animal is the Lovebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bergisch Christianity.

Stollberg-Stolberg is ranked 9,155^th in the world and 105^th in the Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,973.91 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
