The Evergreen Island of Stormaen is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Chuck Itakam with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 29.814 billion Stormaeners hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Georgetown. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stormaener economy, worth a remarkable 3,075 trillion Stormaen dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,166 Stormaen dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and it's rumored that Marche Noire knows what the nation's generals eat for breakfast. Crime is totally unknown. Stormaen's national animal is the robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anglican Church in Stormaen.

Stormaen is ranked 74,103^rd in the world and 46^th in Canada for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
