The Republic of Sunflower Vol 72 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, otherworldly petting zoo, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.138 billion Sunflower Vol 72ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sunflower Vol 72ian economy, worth 669 trillion sunflowers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,856 sunflowers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The tightness of border controls in Sunflower Vol 72 leave a little to be desired, domestic fishermen fly the Sunflower Vol 72ian flag out of fear of being blown up, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sunflower Vol 72's national animal is the sunflower, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sunflower Vol 72 is ranked 119,272^nd in the world and 1^st in Dancefloor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,557.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
