The United States of Srowall is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.04 billion Srowallians 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 tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The very strong Srowallian economy, worth 66.5 trillion diamonds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Tourism. Average income is 63,973 diamonds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 293,387 per year while the poor average 8,474, a ratio of 34.6 to 1.

Pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable, Amnesty Interregional has condemned Srowall for ignoring crimes against humanity, the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, and class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Srowall's national animal is the tortoise.

Srowall is ranked 13,923rd in the world and 6th in The Wave Experience for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 5,552.72 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
