The Federal People's Republic of Sutland Rep is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Crairman Matthius Bark with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 23.012 billion Sutlanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sutland metropolitan City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sutlandian economy, worth a remarkable 8,447 trillion Arons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 367,070 Arons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics, children often kick Turkeys for amusement, hymns sung by popular choirs top the billboard charts, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sutland Rep's national animal is the Turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Sutland Rep is ranked 165,580th in the world and 9th in Equinox for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 200.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
