The Republic of Soreyka is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 173 million Soreekans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The strong Soreekan economy, worth 11.4 trillion ores a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 66,172 ores, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, and the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP. Crime is relatively low. Soreyka's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Soreyka is ranked 21,122^nd in the world and 31^st in Sparkalia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.38 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
