The Federal Republic of Soclania is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by PM Nicolas Papandreou with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 11.092 billion Soclanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onerupol. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soclanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,745 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 157,366 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what PM Nicolas Papandreou is wearing this season, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soclania's national animal is the Socratian White Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is there is no national Religion.

Soclania is ranked 23,675th in the world and 361st in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 85.56 on the Human Development Index.
