The Rìoghachd saor of Stratharran is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rhydderch Hael with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.582 billion Stratharraners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aird Rosain. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stratharranian economy, worth 298 trillion orens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 115,508 orens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's said that Rhydderch Hael can turn every pleasure into a chore, homophobia is off the menu, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stratharran's national animal is the black cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Druidism.

Stratharran is ranked 13,756^th in the world and 525^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,646.26 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
