The Empire of Sunson is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.529 billion Sunsonese 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blokio. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.0%.

The strong Sunsonese economy, worth 627 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 50,106 yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sunson has designated Blokio as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Sunson in an international press conference, an increasingly villainous series of sports coaches are demanding the national mascot's true identity, and The Closet Opening At Sunrise has been named as Sunson's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sunson's national animal is the crane and its national religion is The Closet Opening At Sunrise.

Sunson is ranked 133,900^th in the world and 93^rd in The Eighth Closet for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,167.36 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
