The Republic of Suomi is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.8 billion Suomians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 28.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Suomian economy, worth a remarkable 2,703 trillion Euros 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 118,559 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Suomi's national animal is the maakarhu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Suomi is ranked 233,895th in the world and 7,364th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 23.14482546508 days.
