The Commonwealth of Sordandia is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 795 million Sordandians 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 Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sordantirturin. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sordandian economy, worth 82.2 trillion Sors a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,353 Sors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, uprooting flowers for religious ceremonies is a felony, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Leader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sordandia's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sordandia is ranked 242,415^th in the world and 11,810^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -41.68 on the Hayek Index.
