The Galactic Sector of Grand Republic of the Sun is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Shine Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 7.962 billion Sunians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taeyang. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,144 trillion beamcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,725 beamcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Facial disfigurement is a leading cause of supervillainy, The Shine Minister has been nicknamed 'Robomop', the aims of top-secret Sunian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Republic of the Sun's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grand Republic of the Sun is ranked 10,469th in the world and 580th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 157.96 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
