The United Socialist States of Samanaa is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Comandant Amanda Corrigo with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 10.714 billion Samanaans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Partytown 5000. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Samanaan economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion SamSams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,188 SamSams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, if someone says there's plenty of living space in Samanaa they're lyin', organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samanaa's national animal is the Red Fire Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Science And Logic.

Samanaa is ranked 1,084^th in the world and 17^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Developed, scoring 98.5 on the Human Development Index.
