The State of Sous leRoi is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 22.361 billion Sous leRoians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Sous leRoian economy, worth 223 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,010 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is avowedly atheist, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Sous leRoi's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and Sous leRoi has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sous leRoi's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sous leRoi is ranked 47,970th in the world and 7th in Luxembourg City for Most Stationary, with 922.21293756112 days.
