The Empire of Souji is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shadow Valdez with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.002 billion Soujis are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wuhan. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Souji economy, worth 14.6 trillion yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 4,858 yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Wuhan Natural History Museum, a government program is underway to revitalize Souji's beaches, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Souji's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Souji is ranked 76,196^th in the world and 17^th in Surpridom of the Left for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
