The Cummonwealth of Sovianew is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 779 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of jujitsu kaisen. The average income tax rate is 14.2%.

The very strong Sovianewian economy, worth 41.6 trillion snds a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 53,430 snds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

It takes a village to catch a criminal, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, anti-government demagogues have a devil of a time evading authorities, and teenagers are severely punished for being out too late. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sovianew's national animal is the elk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sovianew is ranked 232,197^th in the world and 7^th in ulslo for Safest, scoring 42.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
