The Armed Republic of Stralvania is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18 million Stralvanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Stralvanian economy, worth 845 billion Pound Sterlings a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,973 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Laws are littered with references to cheese, citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stralvania's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stralvania is ranked 222,736^th in the world and 75^th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Most Primitive, scoring -98.74 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
