The Empire of Sofreshia is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 352 million Sofreshians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 10.9%.

The Sofreshian economy, worth 19.5 trillion swaggycashes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,513 swaggycashes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sofreshia's national animal is the unicorn .

Sofreshia is ranked 229,530^th in the world and 169^th in Benigtopia for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
