The Empire of Storage Area is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 323 million Storage Areans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Storage Arean economy, worth 8.30 trillion Currenseas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,702 Currenseas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Storage Area's national animal is the Shim, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Storage Area is ranked 243,859^th in the world and 2^nd in Storage Area for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
