The State of Soufriere is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.205 billion Soufriereans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Soufrierean economy, worth a remarkable 1,131 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 34,068 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,621 per year while the poor average 1,830, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, the government is avowedly atheist, all tariffs have been abolished, and Soufriere has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Soufriere's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Soufriere is ranked 269,648^th in the world and 8^th in Republic of China for Safest, scoring 10.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
