The Grand Duchy of Strelitz is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 636 million Strelitzers 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neustrelitz. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Strelitzian economy, worth 76.1 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,609 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer, Strelitzers incessantly needle their doctors for relief, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strelitz's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Strelitz is ranked 32,449^th in the world and 745^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 61,598.79 Standard Monetary Units.
