The Dominion of Stormaen is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Chief Minister Dean Emerson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.052 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Land Fall. The average income tax rate is 38%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Tourism.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, abortions are routinely performed in Stormaen's hospitals, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Stormaen's national animal is the robin, its national religion is Church of England, and its currency is the Stormaen dollar.

Stormaen is ranked 182nd in Canada and 119,365th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -10 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
