The Republic of Samara Sobar is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning quick pink fox population. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.914 billion Samara Sobarians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.7%.

The very strong Samara Sobarian economy, worth 496 trillion Juno aurums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 55,667 Juno aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,044 per year while the poor average 13,108, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is moderate. Samara Sobar's national animal is the quick pink fox.

Samara Sobar is ranked 150,239^th in the world and 1^st in Samara Oblast for Safest, scoring 61.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
