The Federal Republic of Sturklisan is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.45 billion Sturklisanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 9.5%.

The Sturklisanian economy, worth 133 trillion Barstisan Pars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 54,656 Barstisan Pars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and the smell of napalm in the morning is usually alongside grilled Stuergon.
