Location: Paris Commune

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Armed Republic of Commander Strax is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.631 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30%. A large private sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, followed by Book Publishing and Soda Sales.

Crime is well under control. Commander Strax's national animal is the Doctor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Medical Bag.

Commander Strax is ranked 9th in Paris Commune and 75,335th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
