The Inescapable Empire of Sokarium is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Irrefutably Unequivocal Supreme Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.606 billion Sokarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wocombia. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sokariumian economy, worth 811 trillion Sokarium bills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 144,766 Sokarium bills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has enacted freedom of information, songs of praise to Irrefutably Unequivocal Supreme Leader are filled with coded messages from the resistance, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and young people never forget their first roommate — no matter how much counselling they have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sokarium's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sokaria.

Sokarium is ranked 218,365th in the world and 2,229th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 30.42992496928 days.
