The Colonial Republic of Summerset Plains is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Thommys Wills with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 4.339 billion Frentell have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Firsthold. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Frentellion economy, worth 422 trillion Crown's and Coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 97,281 Crown's and Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Common misteaks slip threw as the Issues Editing Team adds issues by the hundread (Summerset Plains has found 2 easter eggs), crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Summerset Plains's national animal is the Crowned Frentellion Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Hellenism.

Summerset Plains is ranked 15,760^th in the world and 886^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 24.05 average smiles per day.
