The Sultanate of Compassionate Souls is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 180 million Compassionate Souls are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Compassionate Soul economy, worth 9.06 trillion Carmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 50,340 Carmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and tourists visit Compassionate Souls to mass-moon Compassionate Soul politicians. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compassionate Souls's national animal is the Meow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Compassionate Souls is ranked 93,618th in the world and 1,912th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,177.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
