The Grand Republic of Sorveb is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Government with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and fear of technology. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 3.033 billion Sorvish are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sorventine. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sorvish economy, worth 323 trillion Craroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 106,666 Craroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mummified remains of former kings are apparently discovered every time a tourist loses their wallet, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', prohibition has allowed a Maxtopian immigrant known only as "Nipples" to establish an illicit breast milk syndicate, and Government's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sorveb's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is All Religions.

Sorveb is ranked 39,727^th in the world and 46^th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,241.51 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
