The Democratic Republic of Suvmia-19 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.384 billion Suvmia-19ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The thriving Suvmia-19ian economy, worth 190 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,408 Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 193,117 per year while the poor average 6,073, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

Confused drunks wake up to irate drill sergeants whipping them into shape, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Suvmia-19's national animal is the Grey Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Suvmia-19 is ranked 161,273^rd in the world and 27^th in The Ascendancy Federation for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 60.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
