The Free Land of Sunshine Power is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Principle Pinhead with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 17.745 billion Sunshine Powerians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dumpster Fire. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Sunshine Powerian economy, worth 271 trillion Pips a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 15,306 Pips, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cigarettes are dead-cheap, sports journals are full of uplifting puff-pieces on professional boxers, open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries, and even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sunshine Power's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Violetism.

Sunshine Power is ranked 136,976th in the world and 6,757th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 500.01 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
