The Confederacy of Soundomoux is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 36 million Soundomouxians 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 Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Soundomouxian economy, worth 2.20 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 61,059 bitcoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 394,901 per year while the poor average 3,791, a ratio of 104 to 1.

The government is known to care more about its buildings than its people, Soundomouxian politics is literally a blood sport, the only record being broken at sporting events is the highest death toll, and people have become comfortably numb. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Soundomoux's national animal is the black cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Soundomoux is ranked 258,550^th in the world and 4,726^th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -3.16 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
