The Armed Republic of Soldats is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Erich Fritz Emil Mielke with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 3.383 billion Soldatsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zurich. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Soldatsian economy, worth 237 trillion Deutsche Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 70,341 Deutsche Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, the government is proud to report that ten percent of all tax revenue goes to funding suspected terrorist organizations, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soldats's national animal is the Bullmoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Erich Fritz cult and pop shop.

Soldats is ranked 33,008^th in the world and 2,131^st in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,000.91 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
