The Dominion of Stragonia is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 552 million Stragonians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Stragonian economy, worth 46.6 trillion stragons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 84,499 stragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The well-off can quite literally buy extra votes, the government has cautiously opted to support women's suffrage, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and the government violently suppresses separatist movements. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Stragonia's national animal is the stramadillo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stragonia is ranked 59,016th in the world and 62nd in Karma for Most Developed, scoring 74.75 on the Human Development Index.
