The Constitutional Monarchy of Stratusia is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The devout population of 1.688 billion Stratusians 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 Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stratusian economy, worth 192 trillion marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,974 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government forces are said to be deterred by signs reading "No Spam, Cold Callers or Central Government - Thank You", the disabled are forced to undergo an MRI scan every time they pick up their benefit payments, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Stratusian Space Agency, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Stratusia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stratusia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stratusia is ranked 25,380^th in the world and 5^th in The United Democratic States for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 76.51 Effective Tax Rate.
