The State of SU is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.507 billion SUians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The all-consuming SUian economy, worth 694 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 44,769 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 169,212 per year while the poor average 8,241, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

All tariffs have been abolished, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and SU has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. SU's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SU is ranked 264,674^th in the world and 158^th in Omega Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 41.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
