The Holy House of Surry is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.708 billion Surryians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sabgra. The average income tax rate is 17.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Surryian economy, worth 991 trillion Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 113,857 Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, Scout campfire sing-a-longs tend to focus on the evils of antitrust legislation, and piracy is the nation's most popular pastime. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Surry's national animal is the Ghost, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
Surry is ranked 178,436th in the world and 6th in Society of Jesus for Highest Drug Use, scoring 43.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
