The Republic of Soughts Souble is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Adebayo Butarnia with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 6.691 billion Soughtinas enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bersingo. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient soughtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,030 trillion SS Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,950 SS Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens wishing to leave the country must surrender half their wealth to the government, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, police protocol is to arrest anyone who looks a bit foreign, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Soughts Souble's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Soughts Souble is ranked 78,661^st in the world and 2,247^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,133.9 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
