The Republic of Sorlyset is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Antero Ahonen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.703 billion Sorlysetians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ostiva. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sorlysetian economy, worth a remarkable 2,675 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 143,076 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The poorest Sorlysetians live in 'the stacks', even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, "The Pride of the Sorlysetian Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sorlyset's national animal is the Sorlybird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kielti.

Sorlyset is ranked 24,678^th in the world and 3^rd in Elysion for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 65,958.34 Standard Monetary Units.
