The Federation of Suchania is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 128 million Suchanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.1%.

The Suchanian economy, worth 7.48 trillion Suchanian Suns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,467 Suchanian Suns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color", and the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suchania's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Suchania is ranked 145,824^th in the world and 217^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 621.77 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
