The Protectorate of Soul10 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 879 million Soul10ians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Soul10ian economy, worth 29.7 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,812 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Soul10's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Soul10's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soul10 is ranked 190,495^th in the world and 5^th in THE REAPERS CAFE for Largest Black Market, with 572 billion Standard Monetary Units.
