The Crown Dependency of South Sulphur is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lord Narrows with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.212 billion Sulphurites 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hogsport. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient South Sulphurian economy, worth 932 trillion Krystals a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 150,156 Krystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, gay couples have to travel to Brancaland to find a church that will actually let them wed, hospitals have poor data security but send lots of bodies to be encrypted, and authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Sulphur's national animal is the Blue Hog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

South Sulphur is ranked 5,652^nd in the world and 5^th in North America for Most Developed, scoring 93.39 on the Human Development Index.
