The Federation of -Sottunga- is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.034 billion -Sottunga-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.7%.

The frighteningly efficient -Sottunga-ian economy, worth 556 trillion gambles a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,542 gambles, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending billions of taxpayer gambles to support "struggling" industries, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, the free market's hand is quite visible, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Sottunga-'s national animal is the gamble.

-Sottunga- is ranked 106,901^st in the world and 122^nd in Municipalities of Finland for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
