The People's Republic of Souneria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Marx with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.303 billion Sounerians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leutenville. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Sounerian economy, worth 552 trillion Thalers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 128,508 Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, increasing numbers of children in Souneria have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Souneria, and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Souneria's national animal is the Prole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Souneria is ranked 13,613th in the world and 319th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Poor Incomes, with 109,328.31 Standard Monetary Units.
