The Republic of County of Styria is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and national health service. The cynical population of 962 million County of Styrians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse County of Styrian economy, worth 96.1 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,908 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. County of Styria's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
