The Republic of Storminium is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Stormin Mormon with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, triple-decker prams, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.474 billion Stormins are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhino City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Stormin economy, worth a remarkable 1,078 trillion Mormons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 197,100 Mormons, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government struggles to keep up with the endless list of petrol disasters, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, and weather reports simply advise Stormins to 'look outside'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Storminium's national animal is the Rhino, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Rhinism.

Storminium is ranked 96,572nd in the world and 13th in Benigtopia for Largest Populations, with 5.47 billion capita.
