The People's Republic of Strongkor 05 is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 10.564 billion Strongkor 05ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 62.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Strongkor 05ian economy, worth 313 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 29,667 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strongkor 05's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Strongkor 05 is ranked 83,619^th in the world and 3^rd in Aozora for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
