The United Athletic Republic of StrayaRoos is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Athlete Jeff Kal with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.931 billion Roosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pale. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roo economy, worth 250 trillion Roosian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 129,946 Roosian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

StrayaRoos recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Emu Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. StrayaRoos's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sport.

StrayaRoos is ranked 18,535^th in the world and 9^th in Anaia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 273.51 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
