The Republic of Styldavia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Yulia Zabolotna with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.867 billion Styldavians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyrih. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Styldavian economy, worth 520 trillion dalers a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 66,159 dalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, visiting the best Styldavian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, and international tensions are high as Styldavia threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Styldavia's national animal is the nightingale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pravic Oremianism.

Styldavia is ranked 98,813^th in the world and 6^th in Coldonia for Largest Populations, with 7.87 billion capita.
