The Mountainous Region of Sokenzan is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Illen with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 15.03 billion Sokenzanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryusei. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sokenzanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,770 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 117,799 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The black market offers sweet deals, the official Sokenzanian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the government funds large training centres to turn rhinos into functioning members of society, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sokenzan's national animal is the rhino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Renism.

Sokenzan is ranked 5,397^th in the world and 135^th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 127.7 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
