The Kingdom of Songan is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The democratic, devout population of 625 million Songanians 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, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Songanian economy, worth 20.2 trillion yons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,343 yons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blackacrean security services are wondering why Leader is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, the Songan City Film Festival recently voted 'Songanian Getting Hit By Football' as best film, parking's carefree without parking car fees, and politicians have been known to swim in pools filled with yons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Songan's national animal is the turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Songan is ranked 100,405^th in the world and 1^st in Solanaria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,900.09 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
