The Commonwealth of Sordandia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Chieftain Tunsor Pinochatlin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.018 billion Sordandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sordantirturin. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sordandian economy, worth 735 trillion Sors a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,585 Sors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, rumour has it Chieftain Tunsor Pinochatlin needs a calculator to multiply ten by ten, Chieftain Tunsor Pinochatlin's reputation is hard as nails, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sordandia's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Sordandia is ranked 164,548th in the world and 3,003rd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 213.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
