The Glories Old of Sunrise Trail is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 11.903 billion Sunrise Trailers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bluenose. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Sunrise Trailian economy, worth 562 trillion Nickels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,253 Nickels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, the Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sunrise Trail's national animal is the Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Rationalist.

Sunrise Trail is ranked 65,869^th in the world and 63^rd in Philosophers for Highest Food Quality, scoring 29.51 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
