The Holy Socialist Republic of Striagro Uspil is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pope Longinus I with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.939 billion Uspilians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Italian economy, worth 382 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,237 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Italian ambassadors, hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, card players are calling the government's bluff on anti-gambling legislation, and the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Striagro Uspil's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic Communism.

Striagro Uspil is ranked 27,223^rd in the world and 227^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 17,670.7 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
