The Occupied Land of Summerset Castle is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Barnes with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.28 billion Summersetians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winterspring. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Summersetian economy, worth a remarkable 7,024 trillion shards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 406,521 shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army consists of only generals and grunts, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, monarchs only get custody of the royal crown on holidays and weekends, and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Summerset Castle's national animal is the frog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Solarity.

Summerset Castle is ranked 2,339^th in the world and 110^th in Lazarus for Largest Governments, scoring 53.24 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
