The Republic of Soamara is a small, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 29 million Soamaris are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Soamari economy, worth 1.22 trillion maras a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,017 maras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Constipated-looking politicians are uptight about potty mouths, taxpayer-funded government ads are promoting Brancaland as a premier filming location, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, and internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soamara's national animal is the Eurasian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soamara is ranked 124,437^th in the world and 7^th in Ieshus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,587.61 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
