The Empire of Sopernia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 587 million Sopernians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Andorra Soper. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sopernian economy, worth 47.7 trillion sopers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,245 sopers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, on-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, and cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sopernia's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sopernia is ranked 130,885^th in the world and 5,609^th in The North Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 37.67 on the Rand Index.
