The Principality of Sussen is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Asůkaii with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.839 billion Sussenianites 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suß. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Sussenian economy, worth 316 trillion Sußbunds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 172,024 Sußbunds, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lonely children write fanfiction about absent fathers, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', and some Sussenianites have nicknamed the monarch "Caligula". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sussen's national animal is the Bürm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Asüen.

Sussen is ranked 242,965th in the world and 9,371st in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
