The Pink Milk of Strawberry Flavored Milk is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Rune Shortcake with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.503 billion Strawberry Flavored Milkians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strawberry Hill. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Strawberry Flavored Milkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,161 trillion peanuts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 122,214 peanuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime is totally unknown. Strawberry Flavored Milk's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Milkism.

Strawberry Flavored Milk is ranked 80,958^th in the world and 13^th in Vending Emporium for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
