The Republic of Soughts Souble is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Adebayo Butarnia with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.785 billion Soughtinas enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bersingo. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient soughtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,036 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 major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 152,781 SS Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's often raining men (hallelujah) in Bersingo, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 7,199^th in the world and 355^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 477.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
