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

The Most Serene Republic of Strubania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Most Serene Leader with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, humorless population of 4.902 billion Strubanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strubenville. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Strubanian economy, worth 937 trillion Wahoonis 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 191,319 Wahoonis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, Strubania recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, and Most Serene Leader has been nicknamed 'Robomop'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Strubania's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Strubania is ranked 290,776^th in the world and 11,343^rd in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.23 kickbacks per hour.
