The People's Republic of South Sopoli is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 4.749 billion South Sopolians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish South Sopolian economy, worth 146 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 30,884 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, there's some really clean windows in South Sopolian houses, edutainment video games are taking South Sopoli's students to the next level, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Sopoli's national animal is the tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South Sopoli is ranked 37,411^th in the world and 619^th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
