The HAUNTOBER of Stralfcyde is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Laura Sky with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 4.087 billion Stralfcydians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capa City. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stralfcydian economy, worth 489 trillion Stralf Pounds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,723 Stralf Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Cities in Stralfcyde declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stralfcyde's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jacouba.

Stralfcyde is ranked 295,634th in the world and 6,933rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.01 missed references per hour.
