The Institution of Imperial Church Of The Sutherlands is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Saint Hughes Von Ishval with an even hand, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, anti-smoking policies, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.352 billion Sutherans 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, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperiyale Sutherland Cathedral. The average income tax rate is 90.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial Church Of The Sutherese economy, worth 573 trillion Suthercoatls a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,765 Suthercoatls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Church Of The Sutherlands's national animal is the Vuetzalcoatl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jakaraikyo.

Imperial Church Of The Sutherlands is ranked 41,327^th in the world and 2,300^th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,564.4 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
