The People's Republic of Sturmland is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, digital currency, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 936 million Sturmlandische 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, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galestadt. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sturmlandische economy, worth 98.6 trillion Sturmische Marks 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,341 Sturmische Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and the government's stance on marriage is 'Let Sturmlandische marry themselves'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sturmland's national animal is the albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sturmland is ranked 5,623^rd in the world and 205^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 6,065.64 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
