The Republic of Succession is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ritual sacrifices, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.074 billion Successionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.4%.

The Successionian economy, worth 148 trillion marks a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,427 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, and the same 3074 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Succession's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Succession is ranked 299,162^nd in the world and 92^nd in Fukuoka for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -8.25 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
