The Commonwealth of Samarantz is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Roger Morris with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 16.823 billion Samarantzians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corralis. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Samarantzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,419 trillion Allied Quens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 84,378 Allied Quens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, glamping Samarantzians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and code enforcement officers circle wealthy Samarantzians like vultures. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samarantz's national animal is the Red-Lipped Batfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Samarantz is ranked 312,742^nd in the world and 4^th in Highspellia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.85 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
