The Third Successor of Stroke is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jerry with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed population of 12.121 billion Strokians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lakista. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Strokan economy, worth 927 trillion Lanvars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,519 Lanvars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

You can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, the 'sing-a-long with Jerry' album is a popular souvenir, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, and prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stroke's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Queha.

Stroke is ranked 37,896^th in the world and 3^rd in Atlantian Oceania for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,346.61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
