The Republic of Sutalia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Fidenzio Legato with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.807 billion Sutalians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moncigio. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Sutalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,276 trillion Florins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 130,138 Florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, little girls are in tears as Fidenzio Legato confiscates their pink princess ballgowns, the government is proudly free of crabs, and nation-building is the new national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sutalia's national animal is the Viper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Feinoism.

Sutalia is ranked 307,099^th in the world and 17^th in Libertatem for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.29 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
