The Republic of Soniala is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 742 million Sonialans 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sonialan economy, worth 55.7 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,011 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, and the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soniala's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soniala is ranked 283,384th in the world and 6,176th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.44 flags saluted per person per day.
