The Principality of Regency of Sodor is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Regent with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 6.433 billion Sudrics enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suddery. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sudrians economy, worth a remarkable 1,727 trillion Fleurs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 268,541 Fleurs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials stay up all night in flame wars with their constituents, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, most believe 'tis better to give than to receive, and out-of-work actors say they can't complain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Regency of Sodor's national animal is the Warbler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Regency of Sodor is ranked 243,311^th in the world and 75^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Most Extreme, scoring 11.19 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
