The People's Republic of Sordova is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 56 million Sordovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Sordovian economy, worth 2.43 trillion sivs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 43,390 sivs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, men stare at wall-pictures of Leader's face when they visit public urinals, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sordova's national animal is the red lynx, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sordova is ranked 192,000^th in the world and 482^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 673.93 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
