The Republic of Soroanilim

“Strength through democracy”

Overview • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Soroanilim is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 423 million Soroanilimians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.5%.

The sizeable but inefficient Soroanilimian economy, worth 18.0 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,558 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soroanilim's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soroanilim is ranked 151,702^nd in the world and 13^th in Southeast Union for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,581.72 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
