The Commonwealth of Stromana is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 129 million Stromanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Stromanan economy, worth 7.70 trillion slips a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,716 slips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", the police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, and residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling. 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 60,111^th in the world and 412^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 99.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
