The Advanced Republic of Straona is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Commander Trac-S with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.231 billion Straonans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bannerfall. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Straonan economy, worth 916 trillion Glimmers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,265 Glimmers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Straona's national animal is the Ahamkara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Whatever God you want to worship.

Straona is ranked 98,527^th in the world and 24^th in Novus Lucidum for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,675.66 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
