“Praise be the Glorious Sun.”

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

The Occupied Land of Summerset Castle is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Barnes with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.999 billion Summersetians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winterspring. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Summersetian economy, worth a remarkable 6,909 trillion shards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 406,444 shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, you gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party, the army consists of only generals and grunts, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Summerset Castle's national animal is the frog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Solarity.

Summerset Castle is ranked 91,427^th in the world and 2,950^th in Lazarus for Most Extreme, scoring 24.6 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
