The Free Land of Sonicalia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 938 million Sonicalians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artfogrow. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Sonicalian economy, worth 34.1 trillion sonuses 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 36,365 sonuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Factories churn out smog to make statues commemorating environmentalism, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, and citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sonicalia's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sonicalia is ranked 119,503^rd in the world and 204^th in Forest for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,475.45 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
