The Kingdom of Strigberg is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Dieter Swife with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.235 billion Strigbergers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nazsville. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Strigbergian economy, worth a remarkable 1,574 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 217,638 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, beggars lack pockets for spare change, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strigberg's national animal is the Blue Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

Strigberg is ranked 4,634^th in the world and 92^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,443.62 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
