The Federal People's Republic of Sutland Rep is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Crairman Matthius Bark with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 24.26 billion Sutlanders are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sutland metropolitan City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sutlandian economy, worth a remarkable 9,401 trillion Arons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 387,537 Arons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, SR-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sutland Rep's national animal is the Turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Sutland Rep is ranked 1,373^rd in the world and 1^st in Equinox for Highest Average Incomes, with 387,537.86 Standard Monetary Units.
