The Constitutional Monarchy of Great Sothos is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.176 billion Sothosians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hjortsbaek. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Sothosian economy, worth 797 trillion Golden Falcons a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,061 Golden Falcons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Sothosian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Sothos's national animal is the Tri-Striped Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Great Sothos is ranked 264,246th in the world and 64th in International Democratic Union for Largest Black Market, with 87.6 billion Standard Monetary Units.
