The Republic of Sovarioun is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ben with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.426 billion Sovariounians 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 government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pascuapul. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sovariounian economy, worth 83.3 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,388 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Senior professors are allowed to skip the wait at soup kitchens, ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers, Ben has just been declared ruler of Sovarioun in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sovarioun's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Souvarican Christianity.

Sovarioun is ranked 16,367^th in the world and 70^th in The Frontier Sea for Nicest Citizens, with 24.52 average smiles per day.
