The Commune of Strigovia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Vladko Radec with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 15.473 billion Strigovians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vran'. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Strigovian economy, worth a remarkable 3,225 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 208,430 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brasilistanis face layers of paperwork in a different language just to visit a doctor, the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, and power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strigovia's national animal is the Black Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Personality.

Strigovia is ranked 287,858th in the world and 19th in ITALIA for Most Primitive, scoring -515.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
