The Empire of Storm Gard is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.358 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Core Prime. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Homeless people are frequently charged with trespassing on public property, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and the rich are forced to sell their cars to pay for more police to prevent their cars from being stolen. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Storm Gard's national animal is the Monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Union Credit.

Storm Gard is ranked 11th in Razulica and 127,611th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 12 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
