The People's Republic of Sodoran Alesia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kirk Socramander with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.292 billion Sodoran Alesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coastal Tiber. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sodoran Alesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,833 trillion leutesmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 250,940 leutesmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime is totally unknown. Sodoran Alesia's national animal is the Haast's Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sodoran Alesia is ranked 273,100^th in the world and 1,803^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
