The Empire of Sumina is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Claudius II with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 9.707 billion romans 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 relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Suminan economy, worth a remarkable 2,515 trillion denarii a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 259,179 denarii, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,539,882 per year while the poor average 20,029, a ratio of 76.9 to 1.

Employees are told they can avoid traffic jams by starting work at 4 AM, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sumina's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is paganism.

Sumina is ranked 299,952^nd in the world and 3,946^th in the South Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.78 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
