The Republic of Suffolk Refounder is a massive, genial nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.614 billion Suffolk Refounderians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Appalachia. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Suffolk Refounderian economy, worth 333 trillion Silver Penningars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,384 Silver Penningars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Appalachia Times is sold out, and Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suffolk Refounder's national animal is the Mountain Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Heathen.

Suffolk Refounder is ranked 70,908^th in the world and 1^st in Suffolk for Most Corrupt Governments, with 25.36 kickbacks per hour.
