The General of Soun Tzu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sun Tzu with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.813 billion Chinese 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luoyang. The average income tax rate is 56.5%.

The thriving Soun Tzuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,359 trillion Chinese Firecrackers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,393 Chinese Firecrackers, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Sun Tzu, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Soun Tzu" at foreigners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soun Tzu's national animal is the Chinese Walrus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Soun Tzu is ranked 35,542nd in the world and 49th in Herta Space Station for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
