The Serene Forest of Suternia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Meishō with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.653 billion Suternians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suteria. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Suternian economy, worth a remarkable 1,350 trillion Suters a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 106,748 Suters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's new religious police burn blasphemers on bonfires of their own books, the use of martial arts is banned, environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, and cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them. Crime is totally unknown. Suternia's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Suternia is ranked 106,535^th in the world and 22^nd in New Western Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
