The Fisherman's Haven of Strogamehouf is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Irradiated Fish Man with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 5.331 billion Strogamehoufians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Environment is also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strogia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Strogamehoufian economy, worth a remarkable 1,582 trillion Fishbones a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Trout Farming, Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 296,855 Fishbones, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,006,398 per year while the poor average 64,654, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

City-dwellers are forcibly moved to farming communes in the countryside, holiday-makers leave on the same clandestine boats that illegal immigrants arrive in, businessmen behave differently if their supervisor is watching, and the latest government policy passed by a close shave. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Strogamehouf's national animal is the Trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fishing.

Strogamehouf is ranked 307,893^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Guild of Generations for Most Cultured, scoring -148 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
