The Dominion of Souseiseki is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 26.088 billion Souseisekians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Souseiseki City. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Souseisekian economy, worth 124 trillion Roses 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 Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 4,777 Roses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, military spending is on the increase, and Souseiseki has designated Souseiseki City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Souseiseki's national animal is the Kun Kun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Souseiseki is ranked 262,043^rd in the world and 9,481^st in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.13 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
