The Solidarist Parliament of Surry is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Brenden the Humble with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 15.677 billion Surrans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Surrymere. The average income tax rate is 23.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Surran economy, worth a remarkable 1,894 trillion Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 120,835 Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, and politicians literally speak literally. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Surry's national animal is the Red Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Surry is ranked 73,204^th in the world and 2^nd in Knights Hospitaller for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,104.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
