From the UN world Factbook (as of Oct 8 2005):

The Community of Stealthmunchkania is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 29 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Information Technology and Automobile Manufacturing.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, peps are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Stealthmunchkania's national animal is the pep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the pep.

Stealthmunchkania is ranked 1st in the region and 38,966th in the world for Healthiest Nations.
