The Empire of Suneelio is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Suneel The Tyrant with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.32 billion Suneelioans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dewanton. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Suneelioan economy, worth a remarkable 1,220 trillion Suneelios a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 146,650 Suneelios, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, even secular Suneelioans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", citizens who don't follow a major religion are closely monitored for signs of self-harm, and trains and passengers alike are often late. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suneelio's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Suneelio is ranked 7,495th in the world and 396th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
