The District of Sousa Bentley is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 23.369 billion Sousa Bentleyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Sousa Bentleyian economy, worth 464 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, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 19,874 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Sousa Bentley's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sousa Bentley's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sousa Bentley is ranked 46,696th in the world and 7th in Yerevan for Most Stationary, with 938.299573099 days.
