The Republic of Sukuri is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.274 billion Sukurians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karinum. The average income tax rate is 82.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sukurian economy, worth 384 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,075 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, and Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sukuri's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Sukuri is ranked 166,595^th in the world and 3,638^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 185.21 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
