The Republic of Sothebys is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning crocodile population. The hard-working population of 7.493 billion Sothebysians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The Sothebysian economy, worth 392 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 52,421 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sothebys's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sothebys is ranked 230,436^th in the world and 12,333^rd in Osiris for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,619.1 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
