The Republic of The Soviet Southern Isles is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Johan with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.117 billion Southern Islesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westergaard. The average income tax rate is 86.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet Southern Islesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,078 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 210,790 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, the purgative quality of Soviet Southern Islesian cuisine is known across the globe, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, and the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Soviet Southern Isles's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Soviet Southern Isles is ranked 7,060^th in the world and 168^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
