The State of Straumfjord is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.066 billion Straumfjordians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The strong Straumfjordian economy, worth a remarkable 1,369 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 68,240 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 463,948 per year while the poor average 3,666, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Straumfjord has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Straumfjord in an international press conference, and basket-weaving is the nation's latest fad. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Straumfjord's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Straumfjord is ranked 32^nd in the world and 2^nd in 0000 for Most Extreme, scoring 50.63 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
