The Federation of Strehim is a massive, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.361 billion Strehimis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Finrefug. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Strehimi economy, worth 114 trillion Asimis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,402 Asimis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, and the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strehim's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Strehim is ranked 89,830^th in the world and 2,496^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
