The Working and Mercantile Sneks of Strala is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ya Yingtan with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.079 billion Stralans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Somewhere. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Stralan economy, worth a remarkable 4,176 trillion Denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 319,308 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cold war against capitalism is growing chillier by the day, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strala's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is God Snek.

Strala is ranked 23,240th in the world and 238th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,491.9359896048 days.
