The Black Hole Army of Sturm is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Eagle population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.835 billion are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sturm City. The average income tax rate is 22%. A healthy private sector is led by the Cheese Exports, Retail, and Book Publishing industries.

It is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, Sturm has designated Sturm City as its capital city, and a major religion has been named as Sturm's national religion. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sturm's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Dollar.

Sturm is ranked 288th in Epogennick and 89,730th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 8 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
