The Queendom of Sonu is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 30.038 billion Sonuans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Industry, Defense, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Education aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.
The thriving Sonuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,454 trillion Ponds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 48,435 Ponds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 195,200 per year while the poor average 8,032, a ratio of 24.3 to 1.
All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, military spending recently hit a new high, Harry Potter books are banned, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Sonu's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Sonu is ranked 87,114th in the world and 1st in Atheist Empire for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,766.85 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
