The People's Republic of Sonyasia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, digital currency, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 684 million Sonyasians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ma. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sonyasian economy, worth 39.7 trillion sons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 58,035 sons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, newspapers are celebrating Leader saving over a million cats from trees, remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders, and Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sonyasia's national animal is the eel, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sonyasia is ranked 46,628^th in the world and 50^th in Aesica for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 191.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
