The Commonwealth of Stromia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Tyr Backstrom with a fair hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.668 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Linkoping. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stromia's national animal is the lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Annunakiism, and its currency is the Quint.

Stromia is ranked 495th in Europe and 100,349th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -44 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
