The Republic of Sunset is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Erika Silaco with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 42.181 billion Nimatojin hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CORE CyberGov. The average income tax rate is 90.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nimatojin economy, worth an astonishing 21,804 trillion DiCoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 516,924 DiCoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime is totally unknown. Sunset's national animal is the Kasei Taigā, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sunset is ranked 268,185^th in the world and 10^th in The Vast for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.36 crimes per hour.
