The Borderlands of Soul4 is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 895 million Soul4ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Soul4ian economy, worth 34.1 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 38,133 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria, internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Leader to cartoon bears, the entire entry for Soul4 in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soul4's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Soul4 is ranked 272,364^th in the world and 16^th in THE REAPERS CAFE for Largest Black Market, with 65.4 billion Standard Monetary Units.
