The Potato Obsessed Republic of Storalia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sekro Vokyora with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 14.815 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 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Storalian economy, worth a remarkable 2,936 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 198,197 Stora L'Kuns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, aspiring pilots must be personally vetted by the Minister of Transportation before receiving their license, and the children of Storalia are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime is totally unknown. Storalia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Storalia is ranked 133,538^th in the world and 2,080^th in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 209 billion Standard Monetary Units.
