The República of SOSKASKID is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Daniel Virgil with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.359 billion SOSKASKIDians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portão Grande. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SOSKASKIDian economy, worth 441 trillion Belis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,337 Belis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and small patches of desolate land across the world are part of SOSKASKIDian sovereign territory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. SOSKASKID's national animal is the Águia Azul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ciqotism.

SOSKASKID is ranked 19,829th in the world and 800th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 281.18 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
