The Socialist Democracy of Soferia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Theodore Sofarana with a fair hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.689 billion Soferians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velacora. The average income tax rate is 42.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Soferian economy, worth 154 trillion Cookies a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,271 Cookies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Theodore Sofarana's most personal functions, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soferia's national animal is the Harp Seal and its national religion is None.

Soferia is ranked 112,376^th in the world and 4,007^th in Balder for Most Secular, with 17.24 Atheism Rate.
