The Kingdom of Sososososo is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 862 million Sososososoans 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soso City. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Sososososoan economy, worth 26.3 trillion Sosoes 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 30,480 Sosoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Sososososoan military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sososososo's national animal is the Soso, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sososososo is ranked 97,462nd in the world and 1st in Sososo for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,625.17 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
