The KickAss Corrections Officers of SORT is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its closed borders, avowedly heterosexual populace, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.846 billion SORTans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florence. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient SORTan economy, worth a remarkable 2,342 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,374 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the SORTan military unleashed its biological weapons, nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SORT's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

SORT is ranked 47,544^th in the world and 1,202^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 112,374.2 Standard Monetary Units.
