The Glorious Evolution of Sthalrim is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser Wilhelm with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.053 billion Iron Lords are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zaun. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Sthalrimian economy, worth a remarkable 7,099 trillion Iron Medallions a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 543,934 Iron Medallions, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops, and "Kaiser Wilhelm got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sthalrim's national animal is the Iron Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Iron Banner.

Sthalrim is ranked 306,287th in the world and 5,977th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring -57 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
