The Republic of Soughts Souble is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Adebayo Butarnia with a fair hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.194 billion Soughtinas hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bersingo. The average income tax rate is 93.5%.

The frighteningly efficient soughtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,392 trillion SS Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,892 SS Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to soughtian politicians, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile. Crime is totally unknown. Soughts Souble's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Soughts Souble is ranked 318,894^th in the world and 5,320^th in The North Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -10.49 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
