The Boozer of Sozzled Santa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Rudolph with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.715 billion Sozzled Santans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polaris. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sozzled Santan economy, worth a remarkable 3,223 trillion Silver sixpences a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 235,050 Silver sixpences, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, golden statues of Reindeer line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, and the digital money revolution has cashed out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sozzled Santa's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sleighism.

Sozzled Santa is ranked 13,186th in the world and 6th in Doll Guldur for Most Stationary, with 1,919.2879383216 days.
