The Incorporated States of Sullan Laika is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Laika Cornelius Sulla Canus with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.257 billion Sullan Laikans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sullan Roma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Sullan Laikan economy, worth a remarkable 1,574 trillion denarii a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 139,879 denarii, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,175,618 per year while the poor average 3,154, a ratio of 372 to 1.

Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, the law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, and academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sullan Laika's national animal is the Classical Space Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sullan Laika is ranked 9,183rd in the world and 13th in Texas for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 8,830.9 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
