“Juvelo de la Sudo”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Community of Sudlando is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 643 million Sudlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pontio. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sudlandish economy, worth 54.9 trillion Libera Lumturoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,391 Libera Lumturoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, out-of-work actors say they can't complain, and suburban families are finding themselves increasingly short on food as they waste precious water on their lawns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sudlando's national animal is the Monk Parakeet, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sudlando is ranked 30,937^th in the world and 432^nd in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,260.38 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
