The People's Republic of Soqotra archipelago is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Harith Faraj Al-Soqotri with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.894 billion Soqotra archipelagoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tamrida. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Soqotra archipelagoan economy, worth 551 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 112,649 Dinars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 425,776 per year while the poor average 20,736, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.
An increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Soqotra archipelago's mid-life crisis, and formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soqotra archipelago's national animal is the Socotra starling, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Soqotra archipelago is ranked 105,043rd in the world and 30th in Union Mundial for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
