The Constitutional Principality of Straminium is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Royce Jackson with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 6.304 billion Straminians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Maple. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Straminian economy, worth 656 trillion Straminian Starks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 103,988 Straminian Starks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Royce Jackson, "The Pride of the Straminian Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, the Straminian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and everything stops come summertime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Straminium's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Synitism.

Straminium is ranked 136,770^th in the world and 25^th in Audinesca for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,363.13 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
