The United Socialist States of Sopimon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Santiago Perez with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.862 billion Sopimese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bishiva. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sopimese economy, worth a remarkable 2,526 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 232,640 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sopimon's national animal is the Alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Sopimon is ranked 7,954^th in the world and 2^nd in Vitorus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,098.28 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
