The frighteningly efficient Sunset Sea Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,611 trillion Sols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

Average income is an amazing 215,288 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sunset Sea Islands's national animal is the Hermit Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Agnosticism.
