The Islamic Republic of The Island of Sorna is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Josip Milorad Dragoslav with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, devout population of 8.082 billion Sornians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rumija. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sornian economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion Sornian Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 140,680 Sornian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, military training in The Island of Sorna emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, and the government has enacted freedom of information. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Island of Sorna's national animal is the Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Islam.

The Island of Sorna is ranked 123,781st in the world and 2,672nd in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 12.97 flags saluted per person per day.
