The Most Serene Republic of Sophiestan is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 2.738 billion Sophiestanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Sophiestanian economy, worth 67.4 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,615 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, the tenet of free speech is held dear, genetic researchers have been expelled, and a signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that she is in fact a crook after all. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sophiestan's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Sophiestan is ranked 211,996^th in the world and 2^nd in CCF for Most Patriotic, with 5.57 flags saluted per person per day.
