The Republic of Socruell is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Randolph Manning with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.418 billion Socruellians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reaburg. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Socruellian economy, worth 905 trillion Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 141,105 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Socruell, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socruell's national animal is the Lobander, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socruell is ranked 289,570th in the world and 385th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 2,963.21 Standard Monetary Units.
