The Republic of Strugald is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 86 million Strugaldians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Strugaldian economy, worth 1.33 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Gambling. Average income is 15,462 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strugald's national animal is the pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Strugald is ranked 196,146th in the world and 2,238th in the Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 500.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
