The Theocracy of Soradev is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 442 million Soreans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soradev. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sorean economy, worth 40.0 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,417 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of dollars are being blown on orbital weapons development, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned eagleball fields, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Soradev's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Soradev is ranked 240,987^th in the world and 4,543^rd in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.09 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
