The Republic of Sundar archipelago is a small, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 32 million Sundar archipelagoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Sundar archipelagoan economy, worth 504 billion Demsocs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 15,757 Demsocs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government considers the rising number of McRonald's fast food restaurants to be great progress, arbitration is mightier than the sword, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sundar archipelago's national animal is the Tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sundar archipelago is ranked 41,844^th in the world and 4^th in USSD for Most Primitive, scoring 61.24 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
