The Incorporated States of So88er is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a Generally Amiable Fellow with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 36.707 billion So88erians 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 minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Whole Inwon. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient So88erian economy, worth an astonishing 15,293 trillion nutmeques a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 416,637 nutmeques, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, extreme political groups are outlawed, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-nutmeque charge on their phone bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. So88er's national animal is the flying pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ilken Fitherwop.

So88er is ranked 5,933^rd in the world and 1^st in Great Britain and Ireland for Highest Poor Incomes, with 126,442.08 Standard Monetary Units.
