The Free Land of Sumina

“Labour and will can make the world a better place”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Free Land of Sumina is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the people with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.709 billion Suminans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sugus. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Suminan economy, worth 949 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 201,730 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is wading into dangerous waters, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, Sumina has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and cheese lovers have a case of the bleus. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sumina's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Idiocy.

Sumina is ranked 4,273^rd in the world and 115^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 603.61 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
