The Republic of Sound as a Dollar is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.405 billion Sound as a Dollarians 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, is primarily concerned with Education, although Defense, Spirituality, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

Average income is 56,145 Paper Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,790 per year while the poor average 7,634, a ratio of 33.2 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sound as a Dollar's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sound as a Dollar is ranked 170,797^th in the world and 3^rd in Save The Planet for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 56.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
