The Federal Republic of Suitkon is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 642 million Suitkodes are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsa Suitkon. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Suitkonian economy, worth 41.5 trillion Sabans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,707 Sabans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, private law firms are unheard of, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suitkon's national animal is the Spotted Iguana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Suitkon is ranked 49,314^th in the world and 334^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 103.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
