The Dominion of The Souppeonnce is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chef Austin with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, parental licensing program, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.726 billion Souppeonnceans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Penguin Soup. The average income tax rate is 15.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Souppeonncean economy, worth a remarkable 2,463 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 156,632 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Black tea is only available on the black market, takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and the best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Souppeonnce's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Soup.

The Souppeonnce is ranked 296,453rd in the world and 2nd in The Universal Allegiance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 5 law-abiding acts per hour.
