The Empire of Sumina is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Claudius II with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 9.776 billion romans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Suminan economy, worth a remarkable 2,521 trillion denarii a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 257,935 denarii, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,624,847 per year while the poor average 17,195, a ratio of 94.5 to 1.

Nature finds a way despite the government's best efforts, nothing in life is promised except death and government support, politicians are fired for opening subjective statements with "I believe", and the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sumina's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is paganism.

Sumina is ranked 31,576^th in the world and 367^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,581.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
