The Empire of Storn is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Justinian Beric II with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.397 billion Stornishes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Environment, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.4%.

The strong Stornian economy, worth 598 trillion Bezants a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 52,476 Bezants, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

International trade is a sticky issue, Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, and all gamers have been drafted into the military despite their lack of upper body strength. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Storn's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is God.

Storn is ranked 97,993rd in the world and 3,691st in Osiris for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 63.22 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
