The Republic of Sunset is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Erika Silaco with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, vat-grown people, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 45.542 billion Nimatojin hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CORE CyberGov. The average income tax rate is 90.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Nimatojin economy, worth an astonishing 23,653 trillion DiCoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 519,372 DiCoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and populations of two-headed Kasei Taigās have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites. Crime is totally unknown. Sunset's national animal is the Kasei Taigā, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sunset is ranked 12,258^th in the world and 5^th in The Vast for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,835.42 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
