The Republic of Sorocaba is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Pedro Campos with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.316 billion Sorocabanoes 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of sorocaba. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Sorocaban economy, worth 644 trillion Reais a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 101,985 Reais, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, both criminals and civilians are DOA, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Sorocaba. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sorocaba's national animal is the Arara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sorocaba is ranked 269,223rd in the world and 184th in Union Brazilian for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.86 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
