The People's Republic of Sodoran Alesia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kirk Socramander with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.09 billion Sodoran Alesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coastal Tiber. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sodoran Alesian economy, worth 960 trillion leutesmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 188,782 leutesmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-vaxxers are right about the government injecting diseases into people, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and Sodoran Alesian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sodoran Alesia's national animal is the Haast's Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sodoran Alesia is ranked 4,201^st in the world and 33^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 17,632.09 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
