The Socialist Republic of Sundown Sentinals is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pho Nee Nix with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.942 billion Sols are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pho Nee Nix. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solesian economy, worth 220 trillion Sols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 113,632 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pho Nee Nix's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, Pho Nee Nix is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, and candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility. Crime is totally unknown. Sundown Sentinals's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Phoenix Thought.

Sundown Sentinals is ranked 30,519^th in the world and 322^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,615.8 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
