The KickAss Corrections Officers of SORT is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.98 billion SORTans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florence. The average income tax rate is 90.2%.

The all-consuming SORTan economy, worth 923 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,802 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, glamping SORTans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, and people's charity begins and ends at home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SORT's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

SORT is ranked 153,728^th in the world and 8,524^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 86.69 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
