The Protectorate of Second Sun Autonomous Territories is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 966 million Second Sunnites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Second Sun. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Second Sun Autonomous Territoriesian economy, worth 108 trillion sun dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 112,116 sun dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, and the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Sun Autonomous Territories's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Second Sun Autonomous Territories is ranked 17,606^th in the world and 44^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 114.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
