The Republic of Sossolar is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 98 million Sossolarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 15.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Sossolarian economy, worth 5.89 trillion Ruuks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,134 Ruuks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sossolar's national animal is the Ram.
Sossolar is ranked 272,072nd in the world and 4,715th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -54.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
