The Republic of Soamara is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 74 million Soamaris are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Soamari economy, worth 3.61 trillion maras a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,796 maras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', and citizens wouldn't recognise Leader if they passed one another on the street. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soamara's national animal is the Eurasian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soamara is ranked 116,948^th in the world and 11^th in Ieshus for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,131.87 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
