The State of Soberana is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.351 billion Soberanans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large, moralistic, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 27.3%.

The very strong Soberanan economy, worth 673 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 26,582 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, tourists visit Soberana to mass-moon Soberanan politicians, food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police, and the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Soberana's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soberana is ranked 96,154^th in the world and 1^st in Juba for Most Beautiful Environments, with 570.74 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
