The Federation of Strongkin is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, ban on automobiles, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.752 billion Kin are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Strongk economy, worth 162 trillion Dooblas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 93,011 Dooblas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, ritual mummification is making a comeback, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Strongkin's national animal is the giant centipede, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Strongkin is ranked 4,149th in the world and 2nd in Greater Necanica for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 15,790.39 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
