The Federation of South-Strathcona is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 17.396 billion South-Strathconans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped South-Strathconan economy, worth 482 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,725 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South-Strathcona's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South-Strathcona is ranked 245,240^th in the world and 3^rd in Old Northern Utopia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 577.97 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
