The Free Land of Sugandi is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9 million Sugandese are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Sugandese economy, worth 149 billion cool rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 16,651 cool rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Sugandi's hospitals, meat-eating is frowned upon, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sugandi's national animal is the sasquatch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sugandi is ranked 46,843^rd in the world and 16^th in The Creeds for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
