The People's Republic of Sociothe is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.333 billion Sociotheans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sociothean economy, worth 672 trillion Snelfus a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,028 Snelfus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The comic book series 'Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sociothe's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sociothe is ranked 18,506^th in the world and 452^nd in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
