The Armed Republic of Strattlandia is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 101 million Strattlandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Strattlandian economy, worth 6.22 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,583 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, crayon squiggles were a late addition to the works of the Renaissance Old Masters, and meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Strattlandia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Strattlandia is ranked 124,024^th in the world and 62^nd in Audinesca for Highest Food Quality, scoring 18.89 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
