The Republic of Samburg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, compulsory vegetarianism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.524 billion Samburgians 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, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Samburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,042 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 94,876 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Samburg's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Samburg is ranked 228,438^th in the world and 7,675^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -105.29 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
