The Republic of Sourath is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, otherworldly petting zoo, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.027 billion Sourathians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sourathian economy, worth a remarkable 1,913 trillion kronor a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,352 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, the rainbow assortment of chemicals in the water has turned the frogs gay, the nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, and many say faith is a crutch for those who can't move forward. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sourath's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Sourath is ranked 331,938^th in the world and 328^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Pacifist, with 3.94 cheeks turned per day.
