The Federation of Sokiata is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Boris Petrovich with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.624 billion Sortas 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, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladostok. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sokiatan economy, worth 660 trillion Sokiata Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 117,374 Sokiata Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, the SBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, and anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sokiata's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sokiata is ranked 46,916^th in the world and 40^th in Horizon for Highest Average Incomes, with 117,374.15 Standard Monetary Units.
