The People's Democratic Empire of Sopernia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Saddiqui Soper with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.498 billion Sopernians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Andorra Soper. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sopernian economy, worth 679 trillion sopers a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,118 sopers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sopernian politicians are often described as having more style than substance, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, regional governors use national law books as toilet paper, and up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sopernia's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sopro.

Sopernia is ranked 24,407^th in the world and 1,273^rd in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 75.45 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
