The Community of Sulky is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by First Councelor with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 8.689 billion Sulkyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nubicuculia. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sulkyian economy, worth 574 trillion Shells a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 66,088 Shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to First Councelor's wardrobe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sulky's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sulky is ranked 22,089th in the world and 549th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
