The Theocracy of Soradev is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed population of 459 million Soreans 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 government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soradev. The average income tax rate is 20.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sorean economy, worth 42.3 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 92,115 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, religious education is a new government priority, and Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Soradev's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Soradev is ranked 45,414^th in the world and 1,013^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 160.54 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
