The Democratic States of Sundarboom is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Zakas Murati with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 12.649 billion Sundarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oldavi. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sundarboomian economy, worth 524 trillion maxsyns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,487 maxsyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, and mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sundarboom's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sundarboom is ranked 260,103^rd in the world and 4,148^th in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -132.9 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
