The Republic of Sully Island is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Dai Llama with a fair hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.585 billion Sully Islandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sully Island City. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sully Islandian economy, worth 466 trillion Welsh Doublooms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 101,749 Welsh Doublooms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, the government has heavily invested in badly drawn monkeys, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sully Island's national animal is the Nighthawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bale-ism.

Sully Island is ranked 20,528th in the world and 1,328th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
