The Benevolent Stewardship of Soantrias is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 615 million Soantriasians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vêerterac. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.2%.

The powerhouse Soantriasian economy, worth 61.2 trillion Soanars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,458 Soanars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, and there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Soantrias's national animal is the Amur Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soantrias is ranked 227,384^th in the world and 135^th in Declansburg for Most Primitive, scoring -91.02 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
