The Federation of Suntra is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 113 million Suntrans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Suntran economy, worth 6.41 trillion Franks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,704 Franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suntra's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Suntra is ranked 90,425^th in the world and 1,096^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,245.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
