The Republic of Sulfur Trioxide is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its fear of technology, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 17.719 billion Sulfur Trioxideans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.7%.

The thriving Sulfur Trioxidean economy, worth a remarkable 1,362 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,880 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, and air purifiers fight smoke machines on Sulfur Trioxidean stage setups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sulfur Trioxide's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sulfur Trioxide is ranked 91,483^rd in the world and 7^th in The Confederacy of Dunces for Highest Average Incomes, with 76,880.67 Standard Monetary Units.
