The Protectorate of Stralla is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Strall with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.53 billion Strallans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stralla. The average income tax rate is 43.8%.
The very strong Strallan economy, worth 507 trillion Strals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 77,660 Strals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Helicopter parenting is on the rise, they say that Strall's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia, there's a bright dawn ahead for Stralla, and it is said that a Strallan woman's work is never done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Stralla's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Stralla.
Stralla is ranked 210,973rd in the world and 99th in Forest for Fattest Citizens, with 9.47 Obesity Rate.
