The Republic of SoupKM is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.164 billion SoupKMians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.9%.

The SoupKMian economy, worth 92.4 trillion Indus Dollar Soups a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,695 Indus Dollar Soups, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 127,135 per year while the poor average 11,234, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, code enforcement officers circle wealthy SoupKMians like vultures, and politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SoupKM's national animal is the Soup-eater.

SoupKM is ranked 269,635^th in the world and 103^rd in The Alliance of Eros for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,379.04 Standard Monetary Units.
