The Queendom of Surya XVII is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dove population. The democratic population of 9.858 billion Surya XVIIians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Surya XVIIian economy, worth 230 trillion baht a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,344 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Surya XVII's national animal is the dove.

Surya XVII is ranked 253,960^th in the world and 2^nd in Commonwealth of Maine for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,337.04 Standard Monetary Units.
