The Grand Duchy of Strackenz is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.666 billion Strackenzers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The strong Strackenzer economy, worth 363 trillion Strackenzer kroner a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 41,961 Strackenzer kroner, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,445 per year while the poor average 2,630, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Strackenz's national animal is the Yardbird Swan, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Strackenz is ranked 265,154^th in the world and 1^st in Dansk for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
