The Kingdom of Sodarnia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime-Minister Jónas Rasmussen with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.188 billion Sodarnians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volburg. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sodarnian economy, worth 192 trillion Sordanian Slotts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,752 Sordanian Slotts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Prime-Minister Jónas Rasmussen is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sodarnia's national animal is the Haisköl Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Sodarnia is ranked 148,511^th in the world and 740^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 3.27 kickbacks per hour.
