The Colony of Gran Sunda is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.496 billion Gran Sundans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The very strong Gran Sundan economy, worth 643 trillion districtas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 67,737 districtas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,266 per year while the poor average 16,681, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Organ donation is compulsory, military spending recently hit a new high, nudity is frowned upon, and the nation is completely gun-free. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Gran Sunda's national animal is the trout, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Gran Sunda is ranked 254,607^th in the world and 1^st in Sunda for Smartest Citizens, with 21.49 quips per hour.
