The Federal Republic of Strigiformes is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Soren Valeron with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.199 billion Strigiformesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valerya. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Strigiformesian economy, worth 156 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,376 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, the well-to-do in The North Pacific are never on time for important appointments, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strigiformes's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Strigiformes is ranked 36,150^th in the world and 983^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 25.4 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
