The Nation of Sunipi is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by President Alexandra Marchand with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.431 billion Sunipians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reiltas. The average income tax rate is 38.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sunipian economy, worth 299 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 35,441 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, and President Alexandra Marchand is the self-declared God of all Sunipi. Crime is totally unknown. Sunipi's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sunipi is ranked 58,781^st in the world and 147^th in Aesica for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
