Stomalia

The Imperial Republic of Stomalia, or simply Stomalia, is the former Secretary of Defense of Christians United. Stomalia was one of the first nations to join Christians United, after it had been moved from the now defunct Conservative Christians NS.

The Divided Anarchic Territories of Stomalia is a huge, economically powerful nation, ruled by President Cody Parker with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 816 million 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peace City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Membership in the state-owned Church of Stomalia is mandatory and all other faith organisations are banned, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Stomalia to be bombproof, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stomalia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound.

Stomalia left on August 18th, 2013 after Shelstein uncovered the facts that he and his Presidential running mate, Themkane puppeted accounts to get more votes in the August 2013 Elections. That meant that he forefeited the position of Secretary of State to Afrinesia.
