The Analytical Realm of Sophies World is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.943 billion Sophies Worldians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sophies Worldian economy, worth a remarkable 2,327 trillion Cup of Hot Chocolates a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,906 Cup of Hot Chocolates, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, there's nothing more Sophies Worldian than revanchism, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, and disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sophies World's national animal is the Lamp not the rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sophies World is ranked 293,368th in the world and 2,646th in Eye for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
