The Democratic Republic of Soapia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Verdohus Fordres with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, disturbing lack of elderly people, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed population of 2.461 billion Soapians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Overvech venor. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Soapian economy, worth 159 trillion barets 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 64,865 barets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is in perpetual campaign mode, environmental officials dismiss uncontrolled wildfires burning down major cities as nature taking its course, the "right of sanctuary" stops police pursuit into temples and churches, and expectant parents view twins with equal parts joy and suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soapia's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is judism.

Soapia is ranked 14,848^th in the world and 290^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,593.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
