The Cheese Obsessed Republic of Storalia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sekro Vokyora with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 12.433 billion Storalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Storalisburg. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Storalian economy, worth a remarkable 2,383 trillion Stora L'Kuns a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 191,733 Stora L'Kuns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Storalia, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Sekro Vokyora's wardrobe, and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime is totally unknown. Storalia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Storalia is ranked 175,605^th in the world and 162^nd in The Western Isles for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -32.43 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
