The Merry Land of the Fishermen of Strogamehouf is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Jack Hauff with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.461 billion Strogamehoufians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strogia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Strogamehoufian economy, worth 224 trillion Fishbones a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Trout Farming, Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 153,716 Fishbones, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,201,356 per year while the poor average 4,996, a ratio of 240 to 1.

The government is lax about national security during the Christmas period (Strogamehouf has found 4 easter eggs), people spend a lot on hair and nails, being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done King Jack Hauff's credibility no favours, and the Farmer's Almanac is the most popular college textbook. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strogamehouf's national animal is the Trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fishing.

Strogamehouf is ranked 37,908^th in the world and 8^th in The Guild of Generations for Most Patriotic, with 38.03 flags saluted per person per day.
