The United Republic of Sunemia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Camilla Bayou with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.948 billion Sunemians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nashai. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sunemian economy, worth a remarkable 1,699 trillion euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,832 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sunemia's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sunemia is ranked 2,226^th in the world and 2^nd in International Democratic Union for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 20,470.06 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
