The Empire of Soruga is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Lordmoomki with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 905 million Soruganianoes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calaveira. The average income tax rate is 72.7%.

The all-consuming Sorugan economy, worth 115 trillion Cronos a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,663 Cronos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic tickets are punishable by 9000 push-ups, there's a big brother in every prison, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, and rural children are told reading's important (for other people). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soruga's national animal is the Murciélago, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soruga is ranked 25,000th in the world and 5th in Continente de aterias for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,031.45 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
