The Queendom of Stantenople is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Scarlett Frost with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, vat-grown people, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.804 billion Stantenopleans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caledonia. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Stantenoplean economy, worth a remarkable 5,342 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 269,752 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Most believe 'tis better to give than to receive, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, and business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stantenople's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stantenople is ranked 202,078^th in the world and 1^st in Zenithia for Most Extreme, scoring 14.98 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
