The Legacy of Sophie III is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Miss Sophie with a fair hand, and renowned for its enforced nudity, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 21.888 billion Sophies enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Environment, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sophieana. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Sophiean economy, worth 138 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 6,332 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public nudity is compulsory, The Worship of Sophie has been named as Sophie III's national religion, Sophie III has designated Sophieana as its capital city, and Miss Sophie has just been declared ruler of Sophie III in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sophie III's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Worship of Sophie.

Sophie III is ranked 177,586th in the world and 2nd in King William Island for Most Stationary, with 83.39516884928 days.
