The Inevitable Death of Our Sun is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 13.61 billion Our Sunians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Our Sunian economy, worth 818 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,123 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Our Sun's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Our Sun is ranked 32,763rd in the world and 481st in Artificial Solar System for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,561.79 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
