The Commonwealth of Stromana is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 183 million Stromanans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Stromanan economy, worth 11.0 trillion slips a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,381 slips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents tell their children 'what a lovely mistake you turned out to be', Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, and a Europeia Tourist Association survey has rated Stromana #1 for number twos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stromana's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Stromana is ranked 63,314^th in the world and 405^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 97.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
