The People's Republic of Sodoran Alesia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kirk Socramander with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.132 billion Sodoran Alesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large 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 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Sodoran Alesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,474 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 amazing 206,772 leutesmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats are always trying to convince other nations to adopt l33t speak, there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. 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 219,341^st in the world and 944^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -708.28 on the Hayek Index.
