The CYBERPUNK BABES of The Strangers Club is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Badass Rebel Leader Rebecca with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.88 billion Strangers are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyberpunk City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Strange economy, worth a remarkable 2,946 trillion Strange Mons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 298,178 Strange Mons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,754,375 per year while the poor average 3,176, a ratio of 867 to 1.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, if foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to The Strangers Club, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Strangers Club's national animal is the Strange Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nihilism.

The Strangers Club is ranked 294,216^th in the world and 31^st in The Vincence Empire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2 law-abiding acts per hour.
