The Republic of SSN34 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.139 billion SSN34ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blaze View. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.3%.

The frighteningly efficient SSN34ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,592 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 318,568 marks, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, the nation's holy places are littered with doughnut crumbs, and kindhearted SSN34ians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN34's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.

SSN34 is ranked 322,327^th in the world and 464^th in Mikes Hope for Highest Drug Use, scoring 5.46 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
