The Secretariat of Sowerval is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by George Camden with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 1.638 billion Sowervalians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Providence. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Sowervalian economy, worth 295 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 180,688 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,049,308 per year while the poor average 14,742, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.

Legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak, all tariffs have been abolished, Providence's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, and nuclear reactors are held together with party string and Hubba Bubba. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sowerval's national animal is the oriole, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sowerval is ranked 30,456^th in the world and 1^st in Northhaven Accords for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 71.17 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
