The Allied States of Soul5 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 808 million Soul5ians 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 Education. The average income tax rate is 23.9%.

The strong Soul5ian economy, worth 38.9 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,200 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, Leader has just been declared ruler of Soul5 in an international press conference, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soul5's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Soul5 is ranked 227,253^rd in the world and 9^th in THE REAPERS CAFE for Largest Black Market, with 267 billion Standard Monetary Units.
