The Republic of SouthernCone is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 50 million SouthernConeans 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Education, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. The average income tax rate is 21.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong SouthernConean economy, worth 2.98 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 59,505 Pesos , and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

There's no such thing as bad publicity, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, and children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SouthernCone's national animal is the Cóndor .

SouthernCone is ranked 45,278^th in the world and 38^th in Right to Life for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
