The Empire of Storturia is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.47 billion Storturians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Storturian economy, worth 174 trillion Stortollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,912 Stortollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

There is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Stortollars each year, and political commentators say that Leader's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Storturia's national animal is the Parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Storturia is ranked 329,021st in the world and 75th in Equiterra for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
