The Federation of Sokoviii is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 615 million Sokoviiians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sokoviiian economy, worth 51.1 trillion Sokoliks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,104 Sokoliks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, untold millions of Sokoliks are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sokoviii's national animal is the Sokol, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sokoviii is ranked 264,924^th in the world and 5,795^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
