The Republic of Sunset is a behemoth, cultured nation, ruled by Erika Silaco with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 51.493 billion Nimatojin hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CORE CyberGov. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Nimatojin economy, worth an astonishing 26,988 trillion DiCoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 524,116 DiCoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Erika Silaco's office, diplomats miss flights while wandering CORE CyberGov Airport's endless art maze, and some achieve retirement and some have retirement thrust upon them. Crime is totally unknown. Sunset's national animal is the Kasei Taigā, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sunset is ranked 1,649^th in the world and 2^nd in The Vast for Fattest Citizens, with 50.06 Obesity Rate.
