Surrounded by cabbages, the kingdom of '''Sto Lat''' lies at the base of the vast [[Sto Plains]], only about 20 miles from [[Ankh-Morpork]]. It appears to be a very old city, the source of the ancient language of the rimward Sto Plains, [[Latatian]].

Home to Princess [[Keli]] (now Queen Keli) and the Wizard [[Igneous Cutwell]], Sto Lat contains or controls the city-states of [[Sto Helit]], [[Sto Kerrig]], and other territories, such as the Long Thin Debated Piece Hubwards of Sto Kerrig. ([[Mort]] was made Duke of Sto Helit after his delivery of Keli from, well, himself.)

Major appearance in: ''[[Book:Mort|Mort]]''. Also appears in ''[[Book:Going Postal|Going Postal]]'' as the first foreign city to which the revived Ankh-Morpork [[Post Office]] made an official delivery, and where [[Moist von Lipwig]] defrauded [[Adora Belle Dearheart]] at the bank. In ''[[Book:Going Postal|Going Postal]]'', it has a Mayor, suggesting that the day to day affairs of running the town, such as welcoming the Mail and excluding suspect musical acts, are undertaken by [[Joe Camels|the Mayor]], whilst the Queen oversees the more important affairs of state. Sto Lat also has a prestigious Military Academy, and may once have had a less-than-prestigious [[Army]] regiment and is home to [[Apsly's Commercial Bank]].

The name is derived from a {{wp|Sto_Lat|Polish song}} equivalent to the English "For he's a jolly good fellow," in which the subject is wished a life one hundred years ("sto lat") long.  There's [[More Polish]] in Discworld if you look for it.
