The Commonwealth of Stromia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tyr Backstrom with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 31.695 billion Stromians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Linkoping. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Stromian economy, worth a remarkable 5,104 trillion Quints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 161,048 Quints, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban parents tell their children that the family car went to a farm upstate, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, and the 'three Rs' have become the 'four Rs' with the addition of Rightful Thought. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stromia's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anunnakiism.

Stromia is ranked 485^th in the world and 11^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 29,649.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
