The United Socialist States of Sozschen is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ernest Thalmann Jr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.92 billion Sozschenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thälmannburg. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sozschenian economy, worth 842 trillion Internationale Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 171,169 Internationale Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, bizarre-looking creatures called 'Eagledogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sozschen's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sozschen is ranked 8,780^th in the world and 206^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,046.57 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
