The Kingdom of Sorba is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Musar with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.836 billion Sorbans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mutara. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sorban economy, worth 460 trillion Koras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 162,395 Koras, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 700,919 per year while the poor average 23,968, a ratio of 29.2 to 1.

The colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", the end of autumn is celebrated with a bonfire of designer bags, and child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sorba's national animal is the Giant Cichlid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Kemetism.

Sorba is ranked 20,833rd in the world and 41st in the Outback for Highest Average Incomes, with 162,395.35 Standard Monetary Units.
