The Most Serene Republic of Sunswept Beach is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, anti-smoking policies, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.719 billion surfers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Law & Order, Defense, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beach Bar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sunswept Beachian economy, worth a remarkable 4,180 trillion shells a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 235,922 shells, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Surfers struggle to cut steak with a spoon, most of the population has had bad experiences with hoes, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, and government employees are authorized driver's licenses to get their bosses much-needed morning espressos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sunswept Beach's national animal is the Swimming Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Sunswept Beach is ranked 44,617th in the world and 2nd in Trinidad and Tobago for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
