The Borderlands of Souls15 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 17.541 billion Souls15ians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Souls15ian economy, worth 983 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 56,083 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Souls15ian Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Souls15 City to enjoy their national art, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Souls15's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Souls15 is ranked 226,354th in the world and 6,013th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 9.72 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
