The Empire of Sukosdia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Halsten Sukosd with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.314 billion Sukosdians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sukosd City. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sukosdian economy, worth 261 trillion Danvers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,943 Danvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, S-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, and class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sukosdia's national animal is the Bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Sukosdia is ranked 109,313^th in the world and 1,099^th in Ambition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 773.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
