The Federal People's Republic of Sutland Rep is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Crairman Matthius Bark with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, daily referendums, and clockwork self-driving vehicles. The hard-nosed population of 28.208 billion Sutlanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sutland metropolitan City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sutlandian economy, worth an astonishing 12,147 trillion Arons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 430,622 Arons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flamethrower-toting soldiers are also equipped with fire blankets and extinguishers, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Sutlanders any less frightened, and craps take up a lot of time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sutland Rep's national animal is the Turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Sutland Rep is ranked 324,768^th in the world and 12^th in Equinox for Nicest Citizens, with 0.32 average smiles per day.
