The Empire of Suomiya is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Keisarati Frederik XI with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, rampant corporate plagiarism, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.049 billion Suomiyans 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uusi-Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Suomiyan economy, worth a remarkable 1,341 trillion Suis 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 major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 148,248 Suis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, and builders across Suomiya are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suomiya's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suomiyan Hinduism.

Suomiya is ranked 101,395th in the world and 12th in India for Most Extreme, scoring 23.48 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
