The State of Sur Amigo is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The democratic population of 34.25 billion Sur Amigoans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Social Policy, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Heights. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Sur Amigoan economy, worth 494 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 14,424 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, the death penalty has been reintroduced, Sur Amigo has designated Central Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Sur Amigo in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sur Amigo's national animal is the deer.

Sur Amigo is ranked 138,287^th in the world and 108^th in United States of America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
