The Independent Kingdom of Sudoeste is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Cristina I with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 4.907 billion sudoestinos have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toulouse. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming sudoestino economy, worth 435 trillion Escudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,712 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, Toulouse has become the number one destination for urban exploration in Alcris, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sudoeste's national animal is the Elefante, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristianismo Protestante.

Sudoeste is ranked 115,849^th in the world and 38^th in Alcris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,241.56 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
