The Republic of Lesser Soffia is a very large, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 245 million Lesser Soffians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.9%.

The Lesser Soffian economy, worth 10.4 trillion alexes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,340 alexes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, and scummy-looking teenagers outside government buildings sell bureaucrats spoofed ShortTok accounts. Crime is relatively low. Lesser Soffia's national animal is the anson, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lesser Soffia is ranked 138,565^th in the world and 10^th in Ansontopia for Safest, scoring 65.95 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
