The Republic of Sulasok is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Salsalito Bayagbag with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 1.158 billion Sulasokians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vetlog. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Sulasokian economy, worth 20.0 trillion Modtas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,308 Modtas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, and engaged partners detail their fiancés' private lives in detail to prurient bureaucrats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sulasok's national animal is the Ratbu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sulasok is ranked 252,942^nd in the world and 3,076^th in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.79 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
