The Republic of Susie Carmichael is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.83 billion Susie Carmichaelians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Susie Carmichaelian economy, worth 426 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,397 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, and weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Susie Carmichael's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Susie Carmichael is ranked 210,207^th in the world and 6^th in The Free Alliance for Most Influential, scoring 15 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
