The All powerful state of Sonania is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by naan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, infamous sell-swords, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.89 billion Sonanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sonania city. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Sonanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,016 trillion Sonbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 342,432 Sonbucks, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, the term "Native Sonanian" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority, and bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sonania's national animal is the Sonaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is atheism.

Sonania is ranked 147,449th in the world and 3,121st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 173.34883350112 days.
