The Constitutional Republic of Sucrati is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Bethany Woodard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 35.004 billion Sucrati hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geris City. The average income tax rate is 1.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sucrati economy, worth a remarkable 5,436 trillion Sucrati Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 155,303 Sucrati Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and everyone hates people who encourage hate. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sucrati's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Sucrati is ranked 206,406^th in the world and 68^th in Capitalist Paradise for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.83 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
