The Federation of Stonewick is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Wiggog Y'wrath with a fair hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.939 billion Oxventurers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankh-Morpork. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Oxventurial economy, worth 630 trillion one gold pieces a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,394 one gold pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official Oxventurial Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, it is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, nobody likes bad boys any more, and political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stonewick's national animal is the Ethelfrith's Chosen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stonewick is ranked 120,896th in the world and 1,675th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 293.05198605772 days.
