Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Commonwealth of Strissia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Isaacdnz with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.226 billion Strissians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weddenport. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Strissian economy, worth 551 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,325 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days, foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Eckie-Ecola and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strissia's national animal is the Slug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Strissia is ranked 14,304^th in the world and 2^nd in The Celtic Union of Celticae for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,272.18 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
