The Colony of Samoni is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.021 billion Samonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Samonian economy, worth 20.3 trillion beacocas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 19,863 beacocas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samoni's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Samoni is ranked 167,931st in the world and 24th in military state of Deren for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 57.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
