The Republic of Sosaria is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 487 million Sosarians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The strong Sosarian economy, worth 27.3 trillion Sops a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 56,071 Sops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the tenet of free speech is held dear, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the Sosaria City Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Sosaria's national animal is the Snake.

Sosaria is ranked 19,057^th in the world and 1^st in The New Beltics for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,640.24 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
