The Republic of Sulstinia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Wilhelm with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.007 billion Sulstinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ostellia City. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Sulstinian economy, worth 646 trillion drachmas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,769 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Foreigners often find themselves on the wrong end of a Sulstinian RPG, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sulstinia's national animal is the Jackalope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ængustism.
Sulstinia is ranked 290,468th in the world and 132nd in Alliance of Non Regional Nation for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -37.15 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
