The Wondrous Dominion of Sutherland Federation is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Arc-Wonderess Jarreau with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.451 billion Sutherland Federates are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Education, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The powerhouse Sutherland Federationian economy, worth 492 trillion Solaires a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 58,245 Solaires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Sutherland Federation's border, blood donations have been banned because of the risk of eternal unrest, Roman Catholicism has been named as Sutherland Federation's national religion, and Arc-Wonderess Jarreau has just been declared ruler of Sutherland Federation in an international press conference. Crime is moderate. Sutherland Federation's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Sutherland Federation is ranked 23,057^th in the world and 1,413^th in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 9.54 Bank.
