The Majestical Republic of Stralfcyde is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Laura Sky with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ritual sacrifices, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.063 billion Stralfcydians 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capa City. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stralfcydian economy, worth a remarkable 1,033 trillion Stralf Pounds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,145 Stralf Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, and nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stralfcyde's national animal is the Stralf Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jacouba.

Stralfcyde is ranked 29,110^th in the world and 266^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 255.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
