The Paulownian Imperium of Straknov is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dao Ming Rinxue with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 7.433 billion Straknovians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirim Jinjaya. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Straknovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,226 trillion Lunar Spectrals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,945 Lunar Spectrals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Straknov, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, trespassers entering Dao Ming Rinxue's office are immediately vaporized, and a flying elephant and Dao Ming Rinxue share the same nickname. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Straknov's national animal is the 金龍, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is 神道.

Straknov is ranked 81,146th in the world and 1,150th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 597.60088142408 days.
