The Commonwealth of Stromia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Tyr Nordstrom with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, avant-garde cinema, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 40.275 billion Stromians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Linkoping. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Stromian economy, worth a remarkable 6,992 trillion Quints a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,616 Quints, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, nearby bird nests prompt wind turbine shutdowns, people who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police, and large wigs have been banned for having racist implications. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stromia's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anunnakiism.

Stromia is ranked 1,616^th in the world and 39^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 293 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
