The Free Land of Sunset Vibe is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.399 billion Sunset Vibeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sunset Vibean economy, worth 989 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,264 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, adultery has been made a capital offence, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, and a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sunset Vibe's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sunset Vibe is ranked 46,188th in the world and 5th in Art by Sam Yang for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 21,525.66 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
