The Republic of Sothacania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, enforced nudity, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 382 million Sothacanians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The very strong Sothacanian economy, worth 24.7 trillion Kroynas Şudakans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 64,669 Kroynas Şudakans, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 278,865 per year while the poor average 9,560, a ratio of 29.2 to 1.

Leader toils in solitude while relatives party on a remote tropical island, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Sothacania's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sothacania is ranked 211,120^th in the world and 97^th in Aspen for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 615.58 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
