The Republic of Strang Quanes is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate. The democratic population of 9.667 billion Strang Quanesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Strang Quanesian economy, worth 265 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,489 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and Strang Quanesian politicians are often described as having more style than substance. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Strang Quanes's national animal is the falcon.

Strang Quanes is ranked 49,951^st in the world and 1,693^rd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,690.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
