The Mafia Clan of Stracci is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Don Anthony Stracci with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.416 billion Mafiosos are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Staten Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Straccian economy, worth 687 trillion US Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 155,732 US Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 840,203 per year while the poor average 14,979, a ratio of 56.1 to 1.

The government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, gun owners are skilled at everything except shooting, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, and safe drinking water is considered a luxury. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Stracci's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic Christianity.

Stracci is ranked 311,699th in the world and 39th in The Alliance of Dictators for Safest, scoring 4.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
