The Trumpet Blow of Strone Road is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.077 billion Strone Roaders are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mattress Town. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Strone Roadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,518 trillion old mattresses a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,608 old mattresses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Strone Road to be bombproof, and any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist. Crime is totally unknown. Strone Road's national animal is the human baby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Strone Road is ranked 80,373rd in the world and 2nd in Autism Spectrum for Highest Average Incomes, with 79,608.52 Standard Monetary Units.
