The Soveinian City-State of Soveiniesberg is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Doctor Ulrich Marchtz with an iron fist, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.566 billion Soveinians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soveiniesberg. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soveinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,270 trillion Soveinian Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,481 Soveinian Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, and movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soveiniesberg's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Soveiniesberg is ranked 263,733^rd in the world and 1,353^rd in Europe for Safest, scoring 13.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
