The United Tribes of Sonnveld is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.388 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shining Circle. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sonnveld's national animal is the Black wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sonn.

Sonnveld is ranked 1st in India and 6,778th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 182 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
