The Red Dictatorship of Strumphadaria is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Alberto Strumphadara with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.955 billion Strumphadarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fulbadarium. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Strumphadarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,114 trillion Wupiwupis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 193,034 Wupiwupis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Strumphadaria has found 3 easter eggs), the government invades its allies more than its enemies, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, and government expenses are beyond compare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strumphadaria's national animal is the Dodo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Science.

Strumphadaria is ranked 5,400th in the world and 264th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 114.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
