The Empire of Sodesa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by General Alessandro Giovanni with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, devout population of 4.152 billion Sodesans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The District of SouthHaven. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sodesan economy, worth 436 trillion Hovas 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 significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 105,155 Hovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dead fish in the national rivers aren't decomposing because even bacteria can't survive the levels of toxicity, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sodesa's national animal is the Pakicetus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Retro-Violetism.

Sodesa is ranked 90,359th in the world and 44th in The League for Most Stationary, with 501.6883247526 days.
