The Free Land of Sumina is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.628 billion Suminans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sugus. The average income tax rate is 31.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Suminan economy, worth 934 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 201,840 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen, feeling like a winner comes at a price, and the Suminan Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas. 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 85,324^th in the world and 1,478^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,499.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
