The Republic of Soul1 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Jesus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.224 billion Soul1ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Lost Souls. The average income tax rate is 22.5%.
The Soul1ian economy, worth 50.4 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,167 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens who use the word "Violet" incorrectly find their WhoTube content taken down, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Soul1's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Soul1 is ranked 25,238th in the world and 2nd in THE REAPERS CAFE for Safest, scoring 111.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
