The New Cruor Federation of Strepsils is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 32.354 billion Strepsilians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ek. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Strepsilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,356 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 72,820 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Programmers often reinvent the wheel, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Strepsils's national animal is the White Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cruor.

Strepsils is ranked 27,024^th in the world and 57^th in Ordo Imperialia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 982.56 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
