The Socialist Commonwealth of Suthanimark is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leopold Funke with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 922 million Suthanimarkians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wollefurt. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Suthanische economy, worth 89.8 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 97,365 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and Leopold Funke is frequently seen begging critics to stop insulting the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suthanimark's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Suthanimark is ranked 233,212^th in the world and 508^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
