The Federation of Suontee Lake is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 924 million Suontee Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Suontee Lakean economy, worth 65.9 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,304 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suontee Lake's national animal is the gamble, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Suontee Lake is ranked 180,440^th in the world and 108^th in Lakes in Finland for Most Secular, with 16.68 Atheism Rate.
