The Republic of The Sun Will Rise is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 453 million Sun Will Riseans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Sun Will Risean economy, worth 12.3 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 27,238 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sun Will Rise's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Sun Will Rise is ranked 90,788^th in the world and 34^th in Blue Chevron for Most Patriotic, with 17.87 flags saluted per person per day.
