The Divine State of The SOS Brigade is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Haruhi Suzumiya with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.273 billion SOS Brigade members 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the clubroom. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SOS Brigade economy, worth 230 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 181,438 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Every day at 4am SOS Brigade members wake to pray for the sun to rise, the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes, it's illegal to blow things up, and Haruhiism now admits men and women into its clergy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The SOS Brigade's national animal is the calico cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Haruhiism.

The SOS Brigade is ranked 159,613th in the world and 79th in Japan for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 281.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
