The Kingdom of Sundlant is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexander the 1st with a fair hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning Penguin population. The democratic population of 1.408 billion Sundians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tresa. The average income tax rate is 26.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sundian economy, worth 48.3 trillion Marcs a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,321 Marcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Money grows on trees, Sundlant has designated Tresa as its capital city, the Federal Council of Sundlant has been announced as the new Head of State, and a major religion has been named as Sundlant's national religion. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sundlant's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sundlant is ranked 270,743^rd in the world and 111^th in Lands End for Largest Governments, scoring 9.17 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
