The Music of Sono Saki e is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.274 billion Sono Saki eans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.0%.

The powerhouse Sono Saki ean economy, worth 566 trillion marks 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, 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 90,288 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sono Saki e's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sono Saki e is ranked 282,688th in the world and 4,588th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 5.9007253902 days.
