The Allied Nations of Strangereal is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vincent Harling with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 30.1 billion Strangerealians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oured. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Strangerealian economy, worth a remarkable 3,311 trillion reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 110,009 reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political detractors refer to Vincent Harling as 'that Bigtopian puppet', bris parties are all the rage, stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, and motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strangereal's national animal is the seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Strangereal is ranked 17,027th in the world and 1,090th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
