Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United States of Thesuncity is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 625 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dawn City. The average income tax rate is 58%. A small private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, loans are available for students from poor families, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime is totally unknown. Thesuncity's national animal is the owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Euro.

Thesuncity is ranked 4,166th in The North Pacific and 89,991st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
