The Democratic Republic of Suvmia-1 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The hard-working population of 8.904 billion Suvmians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.

The very strong Suvmia-1ian economy, worth 449 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 50,530 Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,039 per year while the poor average 5,404, a ratio of 47.9 to 1.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, the Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Suvmia-1's national animal is the Grey Whale.

Suvmia-1 is ranked 141,986^th in the world and 9^th in The Ascendancy Federation for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.04 kickbacks per hour.
