The Comin' Back Around Again of The People of The Sun is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.73 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 56%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Crime is totally unknown. The People of The Sun's national animal is the Bird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Mutual Aid.

The People of The Sun is ranked 4th in Communist Beach and 4,154th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 190 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
