The Constitutional Monarchy of Souls 18 is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16.81 billion Souls 18ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government prioritizes Industry, although Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while Education and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Souls 18ian economy, worth 744 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,284 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Thrift shops are closing their doors, dessert dishes make up the Souls 18ian breakfast menu, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", and war vets look after war animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Souls 18's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Souls 18 is ranked 235,595^th in the world and 7,103^rd in Suspicious for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
