The Republic of SocCom-1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 26.008 billion SocCom-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.8%.

The thriving SocCom-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,673 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,364 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, the industries of SocCom-1 are coughing all the way to the bank, and glamping SocCom-1ians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SocCom-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SocCom-1 is ranked 78,380^th in the world and 1^st in Socialist Commonwealth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,266.6 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
