The Big Republic of Socolob is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Jamal al-Din Daw Castiglione with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.406 billion Todi men's 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunnyvale. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Socolobian economy, worth 528 trillion glittering golds 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, Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 119,987 glittering golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 395,425 per year while the poor average 27,260, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.

It is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, there's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, and binoculars sales are at an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socolob's national animal is the Socolobian rhino, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Judaism.

Socolob is ranked 180,656^th in the world and 20^th in Inglourious Basterds for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 795.28 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
