The Protectorate of Summia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 735 million Summians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Summian economy, worth 4.61 trillion summic socialist bills 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 6,278 summic socialist bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Summia's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Summia is ranked 278,287^th in the world and 94^th in Imperatus for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 499.88 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
