The Stralfcyde of Stralfcyde is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Laura Sky with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 4.494 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capa City. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stralfcydian economy, worth 541 trillion Stralf Pounds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,471 Stralf Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, a third of Stralfcydians are e-certified CEOs, happiness is all being miserable together, and unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves. 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 318,688^th in the world and 4,673^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.66 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
