The Federation of Sudestasia is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 273 million Sudestasians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 30.9%.

The very strong Sudestasian economy, worth 22.8 trillion Sudestanis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 83,598 Sudestanis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, all the playground's a stage for Sudestasian schoolchildren, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sudestasia's national animal is the Rococo Molocov, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sudestasia is ranked 184,549^th in the world and 6,710^th in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.24 Weapons Per Person.
