The Principality of Sussen is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Asůkaii with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.033 billion Sussenianites 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suß. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sussenian economy, worth 373 trillion Sußbunds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 183,529 Sußbunds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Sussenian foreign aid program is quick to provide starving children with the latest video games, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, people spend a lot on hair and nails, and pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sussen's national animal is the Bürm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Asüen.

Sussen is ranked 30,861^st in the world and 1,604^th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 82.92 on the Human Development Index.
