The People's Republic of Sodoran Alesia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Kirk Socramander with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.007 billion Sodoran Alesians 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 large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coastal Tiber. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sodoran Alesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,758 trillion leutesmarks 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 250,482 leutesmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime is totally unknown. Sodoran Alesia's national animal is the Haast's Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sodoran Alesia is ranked 288,096^th in the world and 1,336^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -18.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
