The Democratic Republic of Succedania is a massive, genial nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.963 billion Succedanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meira. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Succedanian economy, worth 222 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,129 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Some electoral districts are without a representative as they are stuck with perpetual revotes, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, students abandon classrooms for online education, and a government program is underway to revitalize Succedania's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Succedania's national animal is the lobster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Succedania is ranked 28,467^th in the world and 368^th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,588.62 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
