The Commonwealth of Stromia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Tyr Backstrom with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 37.347 billion Stromians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Stromian economy, worth a remarkable 6,253 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 167,441 Quints, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, a passport is literally priceless, Lynx is one of the most popular forenames in Stromia, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. 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 19,635^th in the world and 306^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 282.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
