The Federal Republic of Strigiformes is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Soren Valeron with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 761 million Strigiformesians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valerya. The average income tax rate is 60.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Strigiformesian economy, worth 85.7 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,679 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, the Strigiformes Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strigiformes's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Strigiformes is ranked 4,100th in the world and 685th in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 20,026 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
