The Autogestionist Associations of Suthanimark is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Das Netzwerk with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.686 billion Suthanimarkeren are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wollefurt. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Suthanische economy, worth 774 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 165,271 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Suthanimark's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Postmodernism.

Suthanimark is ranked 5,773^rd in the world and 139^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 93.82 on the Human Development Index.
