The Republic of Soul1 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jesus with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.482 billion Soul1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Lost Souls. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Soul1ian economy, worth 68.2 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,049 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", The Lost Souls Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, foreign musicians that Jesus dislikes are turned away at the border, and owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soul1's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Soul1 is ranked 127,680^th in the world and 41^st in Abandoned Branch for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
