The Greater Nation of Thousandsuns is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Dr Ian T Sunspear with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 7.737 billion Sunians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königfurten Head. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Sunian economy, worth 669 trillion Tesoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,492 Tesoes, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Haqq now admits men and women into its clergy, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, and citizens wishing to leave the country must surrender half their wealth to the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thousandsuns's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Haqq.

Thousandsuns is ranked 180,950th in the world and 5th in Tradeborough Straits for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,746.42 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
