The Republic of Sotheb is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning crocodile population. The hard-working population of 6.887 billion Sothebians 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 Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.6%.

The Sothebian economy, worth 356 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 51,746 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sotheb's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sotheb is ranked 88,127^th in the world and 4,547^th in Osiris for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,534.22 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
