The People's Republic of Sordova is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10 million Sordovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Sordovian economy, worth 446 billion sivs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 44,620 sivs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, critical thinking is grounds for expulsion from university, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and lobster tastes best when it is red. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sordova's national animal is the red lynx, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sordova is ranked 210,156^th in the world and 454^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Average Incomes, with 44,620.42 Standard Monetary Units.
