The Democratic States of Sundarboom is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Zakas Murati with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 11.469 billion Sundarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oldavi. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sundarboomian economy, worth 429 trillion maxsyns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 37,454 maxsyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, and mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sundarboom's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sundarboom is ranked 123,863^rd in the world and 2,515^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 75.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
