The Coming Down of The Sound of Sunshine is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Michael Franti with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.618 billion Sound of Sunshineans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spearhead. The average income tax rate is 78.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Sound of Sunshinean economy, worth 862 trillion sounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,262 sounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must have a license to operate a computer, government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus, there is no rest for the widowed, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sound of Sunshine's national animal is the sunshine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Sound of Sunshine is ranked 200,196th in the world and 104th in Stereo Hearts for Most Stationary, with 46.96349077668 days.
