The United Kingdom of Sarah Sutton is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Nyssa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.47 billion Trakenites 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Trakenite economy, worth 165 trillion trakens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,673 trakens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A video of Nyssa wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, half-naked men feature prominently in official military materials, foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, and there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sarah Sutton's national animal is the melkur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sarah Sutton is ranked 66,148^th in the world and 17^th in The Companions for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,545.88 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
