The Grand Commonwealth of Stormwallis is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by First Speaker Domena Tomakarov with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.516 billion Stormwallisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abakon. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stormwallisian economy, worth 962 trillion stormlions 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 147,660 stormlions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, builders across Stormwallis are blocked up with orders for new public loos, "The Pride of the Stormwallisian Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stormwallis's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Stormwallis is ranked 8,157^th in the world and 132^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 91.8 Effective Tax Rate.
