The Republic of Sucondes is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its digital currency, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.105 billion Sucondesians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Penguins and Zonkeys. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sucondesian economy, worth 89.3 trillion Stuffed Animals a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,847 Stuffed Animals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate 'hostile takeovers' now involve ICBMs and main battle tanks, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, they say that Sucondesians made a dessert and called it peace, and the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sucondes's national animal is the Penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Sucondes is ranked 50,748^th in the world and 2^nd in Freedonia for Most Patriotic, with 27.2 flags saluted per person per day.
