The Free Land of Sumina is a huge, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 692 million Suminans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order are ignored. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Suminan economy, worth 82.0 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,547 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Crime is totally unknown. Sumina's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Sumina is ranked 13,378th in the world and 505th in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.25 percentage of bribes refused.
