The People's Republic of Sopielepit is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 744 million Sopielepitians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sopielepitian economy, worth 72.4 trillion CNIES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 97,299 CNIES, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, Leader is famed for giving great back rubs, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, and couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sopielepit's national animal is the panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sopielepit is ranked 28,608^th in the world and 496^th in The Communist Bloc for Smartest Citizens, with 49.87 quips per hour.
