The Serene Forest of Suternia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Meishō with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 18.056 billion Suternians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suteria. The average income tax rate is 20.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Suternian economy, worth a remarkable 1,966 trillion Suters a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 108,906 Suters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The sanitised and dull music festivals of Suternia are famed for their reasonable volume levels, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and email killed the radio star. Crime is totally unknown. Suternia's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Suternia is ranked 45,509^th in the world and 9^th in New Western Atlantic for Longest Average Lifespans, with 85.26 years.
