The Cummonwealth of Sovianew is a huge, safe nation, ruled by potential man with a fair hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 915 million Sovianewians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of jujitsu kaisen. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sovianewian economy, worth 46.7 trillion snds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,990 snds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

People have stopped going the extra mile, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, and new discoveries are seen as spooky actions that should be kept at a distance. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sovianew's national animal is the elk, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sovianew is ranked 227,723^rd in the world and 11^th in ulslo for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
