The Realmreich of Stonestein is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rey Gordo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.04 billion Stonesteiners are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citystadt. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Stonesteiner economy, worth an astonishing 10,336 trillion boulders 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 792,640 boulders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rock and roll involves rolling literal rocks in prison, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, pocket dialling is a criminal offence, and shouting contests are an important part of government job interviews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stonestein's national animal is the stonefish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stonestein is ranked 257^th in the world and 1^st in TopCornion for Smartest Citizens, with 356.8 quips per hour.
