The Democratic Republic of Suvmia-15 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.424 billion Suvmia-15ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.4%.

The very strong Suvmia-15ian economy, worth 193 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,838 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 160,260 per year while the poor average 8,505, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Academics are questioning the quality of the nation's newly-reprinted science textbooks, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, and the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Suvmia-15's national animal is the Grey Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Suvmia-15 is ranked 144,754^th in the world and 21^st in The Ascendancy Federation for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 67.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
