The Republic of Sunset is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Erika Silaco with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 40.938 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 86.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Nimatojin economy, worth an astonishing 21,074 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 514,799 DiCoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The Nimatojin Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, billion-DiCoin sentient AI killbots roll through the streets dispensing hot dogs and T-shirts, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. 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 9,309^th in the world and 5^th in The Vast for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,385.55 tourists per hour.
