The Commonwealth of Socialist Republic of Sordland is a huge, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 517 million Sords 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 Holsord. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sordish economy, worth 33.4 trillion Sordish Rens 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 led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 64,599 Sordish Rens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Goatball fields, Holsord spends billions upgrading public transport, discarded pennies litter the streets, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Republic of Sordland's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socialist Republic of Sordland is ranked 185,796^th in the world and 3,950^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
