The Holy Socialist Republic of Striagro Uspil is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pope Longinus I with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 3.176 billion Italians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 70.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Italian economy, worth 458 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,442 lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, economics is a shrinking field, light entertainment isn't dead, and tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Striagro Uspil's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic Communism.

Striagro Uspil is ranked 9,058^th in the world and 154^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,479.15 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
