The Democratic Republic of The Third Sonoran Reich is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by José Starling with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.074 billion Sonorans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eurostarlingrad. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sonoran economy, worth 614 trillion Feathers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 150,898 Feathers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the government is avowedly secular, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Third Sonoran Reich's national animal is the European Starling, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Bird Word.

The Third Sonoran Reich is ranked 115,208^th in the world and 2,742^nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,271.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
