The Imperial Warrior of Sturmtrooper is a massive, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 1.184 billion Sturmtrooperians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sturmtrooper Central. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.

The strong Sturmtrooperian economy, worth 62.2 trillion baht a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,544 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, some say that Leader can't handle the truth but can handle truth-seekers, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", and auditors are gutting every governmental department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sturmtrooper's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sturmtrooper is ranked 287,253^rd in the world and 210^th in Warzone Galactica for Most Cultured, scoring 54 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
