The Nuclear Winter Wonderland of Souls1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 17.709 billion Souls1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.0%.

The Souls1ian economy, worth 600 trillion Yen 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. 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 33,921 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Souls1ian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, and Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Souls1's national animal is the Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Souls1 is ranked 109,812^th in the world and 2,802^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 10.01 kickbacks per hour.
