The Republic of Soulscard38 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 489 million Soulscard38ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Soulscard38ian economy, worth 19.1 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,031 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Soulscard38's many privately-owned prisons, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soulscard38's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Soulscard38 is ranked 69,664^th in the world and 27^th in Puppet Card Storage for Safest, scoring 94.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
