The Grand Empire of The Ten Thousand Suns is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mai’iha the Zariaiz with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 25.107 billion Hroa'agh are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zaozariaiz. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ten Thousand Sunsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,851 trillion rawas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,241 rawas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime is totally unknown. The Ten Thousand Suns's national animal is the four-wing, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Ten Thousand Suns is ranked 316,573rd in the world and 43rd in The Local Cluster for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
