The Protectorate of Second Sun Autonomous Territories is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 948 million Second Sunnites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Second Sun. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Second Sun Autonomous Territoriesian economy, worth 106 trillion sun dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 112,373 sun dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Sun Autonomous Territories's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Second Sun Autonomous Territories is ranked 19,239^th in the world and 50^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 114.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
