The Republic of Sulasok is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Salsalito Bayagbag with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1 billion Sulasokians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vetlog. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Sulasokian economy, worth 20.8 trillion Modtas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 20,770 Modtas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Windows in Vetlog don't have much of a view, government officials raid public buildings to remove all mention of G*d or r******n, vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sulasok's national animal is the Ratbu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sulasok is ranked 289,611^th in the world and 3,916^th in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 5.68 Obesity Rate.
