The Federation of Sokiata is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Boris Petrovich with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.202 billion Sortas 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladostok. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sokiatan economy, worth 567 trillion Sokiata Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,172 Sokiata Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer, Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the Sokiatan military unleashed its biological weapons, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, and the most notorious criminals are given the Consequences of Your Actions Award. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sokiata's national animal is the falcon.

Sokiata is ranked 289,387^th in the world and 549^th in Horizon for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.7 kickbacks per hour.
