The Republic of Sulfide is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning shoop population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.683 billion Sulfideans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.3%.

The Sulfidean economy, worth 116 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 43,517 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, a major religion has been named as Sulfide's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Sulfide in an international press conference, and Sulfide has designated Sulfide City as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sulfide's national animal is the shoop.

Sulfide is ranked 60,411^th in the world and 1^st in Hematite for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,058.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
