The Ulyssian Voyager of Still Ever-Wandering Soul is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 19.359 billion Still Ever-Wandering Soulians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Still Ever-Wandering Soulian economy, worth a remarkable 1,098 trillion Tales 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 56,722 Tales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers, and ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Still Ever-Wandering Soul's national animal is the Mongrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Still Ever-Wandering Soul is ranked 59,799^th in the world and 983^rd in Suspicious for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 125.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
