The Incorporated States of So88er is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a Generally Amiable Fellow with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 44.501 billion So88erians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Whole Inwon. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient So88erian economy, worth an astonishing 20,328 trillion nutmeques a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 456,817 nutmeques, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. So88er's national animal is the flying pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ilken Fitherwop.

So88er is ranked 287,333^rd in the world and 2^nd in Great Britain and Ireland for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3.4 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
