The Commonwealth of Soratsin is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.228 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soratopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. A large private sector is led by the Tourism, Retail, and Information Technology industries.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Soratsin's border, Leader has just been declared ruler of Soratsin in an international press conference, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Soratsin's national animal is the boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the morin.

Soratsin is ranked 158th in the region and 7,544th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
