The Republic of Sunset is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Erika Silaco with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, soft-spoken computers, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 39.016 billion Nimatojin hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CORE CyberGov. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nimatojin economy, worth an astonishing 20,016 trillion DiCoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 513,028 DiCoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The state subsidizes liposuction, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime is totally unknown. Sunset's national animal is the Kasei Taigā, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sunset is ranked 5,832^nd in the world and 6^th in The Vast for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 29,578.24 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
