The Recovering Republic of Sumoriant is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Jazaar al-Hafez with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, frequent executions, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.051 billion Sumori are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haijja. The average income tax rate is 62.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Sumori economy, worth 205 trillion Dierhams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,242 Dierhams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Books are often used as kindling, deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and the government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sumoriant's national animal is the Sumori Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sumoriant is ranked 119,513^th in the world and 30^th in Saint Helene for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,725.85 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
