The Constitutional Republic of Strantia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Thompson with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.077 billion Strantians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waetaone City. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Strantian economy, worth 115 trillion Ryztles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,467 Ryztles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Waetaone City for fear of causing a fuss, contestants on Strantia's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and moonshine has made a resurgence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strantia's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestatholic Christianity.

Strantia is ranked 248,846^th in the world and 12,048^th in the South Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.95 crimes per hour.
