The Dominion of Sumiko Fukamachi is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and daily referendums. The cynical population of 7.564 billion Sumiko Fukamachians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.6%.

The Sumiko Fukamachian economy, worth 363 trillion lotis a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,038 lotis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and all screens are equal but some are more equal than others. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sumiko Fukamachi's national animal is the ladybird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sumiko Fukamachi is ranked 35,073rd in the world and 213th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 1,281.50749233468 days.
