The Mechanicus of Sopherse is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Jevil from Deltarune with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, aversion to nipples, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.313 billion Sopherseans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Education and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madison. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sophersean economy, worth 889 trillion Lodders 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, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 impressive 167,408 Lodders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, illegal book-trafficking rings dominate the black market, and midwives must be skilled with the blade. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sopherse's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Ape Religion.

Sopherse is ranked 193,295^th in the world and 169^th in United Kingdom for Most Developed, scoring 53.26 on the Human Development Index.
