The 19th Zetastani Region of Sun Islands Archipelago is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Sonja Franzisca Dos Santos with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 8.49 billion Sun Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solstice Harbour. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Sun Islands Archipelagoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,730 trillion Zetastani Shekels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 203,858 Zetastani Shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Sonja Franzisca Dos Santos, and the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sun Islands Archipelago's national animal is the green saury, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Sun Islands Archipelago is ranked 4,169th in the world and 83rd in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
