The Dominion of The Souppeonnce is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Chef Austin with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 20.906 billion Souppeonnceans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Law & Order, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Penguin Soup. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Souppeonncean economy, worth a remarkable 3,105 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 148,549 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Souppeonncean flag can be displayed, just as students finish their homework it's time for school, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Souppeonnce's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Soup.

The Souppeonnce is ranked 202,666th in the world and 1st in The Universal Allegiance for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
