The Free Land of Sumina is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the people with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.709 billion Suminans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sugus. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Suminan economy, worth 948 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 201,341 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sumina's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Idiocy.

Sumina is ranked 100,624^th in the world and 1,868^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,541.33 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
