The Most Serene Republic of Surachi is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Thinker with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.837 billion Surachians 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, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deep Thought. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Surachian economy, worth a remarkable 1,049 trillion rachts a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,759 rachts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posters on 'Surachian Values' advise against being proud of Surachi, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Surachi's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Surachi is ranked 8,334^th in the world and 442^nd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,765.44 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
