The Thirteen United Provinces of Sugovia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Mohammad Malik with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.833 billion Sugovians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riverion. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The strong Sugovian economy, worth 171 trillion Schillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,428 Schillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, and President Mohammad Malik has just been declared ruler of Sugovia in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Sugovia's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sugovia is ranked 117,093^rd in the world and 2,409^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 26,335.9 Standard Monetary Units.
