The Democratic Republic of Strategos is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its closed borders, vat-grown people, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 318 million Strategites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athenia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.1%.

The strong Strategite economy, worth 17.1 trillion Strategite drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 53,903 Strategite drachmas, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Strategos's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
