The Sopo Sloth Republic of Ambrella is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sopo Sopopopolis with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 35.081 billion Ambrellans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Education and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unionville d'Ambrella. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Ambrellan economy, worth a remarkable 8,449 trillion soprics a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 240,862 soprics, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,520,161 per year while the poor average 15,977, a ratio of 95.1 to 1.

The wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, there's never enough space in space, church and state are inseparable in their influence on education, and online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Ambrella. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ambrella's national animal is the Azure Flamingo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Allerb'ma.

Ambrella is ranked 274,941^st in the world and 1,184^th in Europeia for Most Primitive, scoring -277.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
