The Republic of Socruell is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Randolph Manning with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.604 billion Socruellians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reaburg. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Socruellian economy, worth a remarkable 1,704 trillion Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 146,904 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socruell's national animal is the Lobander, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socruell is ranked 2,084^th in the world and 115^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 12,008.78 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
