The Sultanate of Strathglen is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 159 million Strathglenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.
The strong Strathglenian economy, worth 8.54 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,689 marks, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.
The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime is moderate. Strathglen's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Strathglen is ranked 230,800th in the world and 7th in Roses Without Thorns for Most Extreme, scoring 12.19 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
