The People's Republic of Sumerkia is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 99 million Sumerkis 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Sumerkian economy, worth 3.08 trillion Crowns 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 Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 31,153 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, captured Brasilistani POWs are staying in 5-star hotels, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sumerkia's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sumerkia is ranked 240,879^th in the world and 2,142^nd in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
