The Grand Duchy of Strelitz is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, aversion to nipples, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 668 million Strelitzers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neustrelitz. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Strelitzian economy, worth 82.3 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,260 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strelitz's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Strelitz is ranked 97,138^th in the world and 1,836^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,161.69 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
