The People's Republic of Sociothe is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.386 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 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sociothean economy, worth 680 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 126,407 Snelfus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, visiting the best Sociothean restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. 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 276,572nd in the world and 6,760th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -291.87 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
