The Fiefdom of SOuls 19 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.135 billion SOuls 19ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 45.4%.
The strong SOuls 19ian economy, worth 522 trillion Latinums a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,960 Latinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Family bonding sessions are considered immoral and are banned, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SOuls 19's national animal is the Spider, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
SOuls 19 is ranked 177,167th in the world and 1,412th in Devide by Zero for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -2.83 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
