The Kingdom of Sutalia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Fidenzio Legato with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.209 billion Sutalians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moncigio. The average income tax rate is 92.7%.
The all-consuming Sutalian economy, worth 656 trillion Florins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,811 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Fidenzio Legato's throne, and constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sutalia's national animal is the Viper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Feinoism.
Sutalia is ranked 5,518th in the world and 1st in Libertatem for Most Patriotic, with 82.04 flags saluted per person per day.
