The United States of Sameko Saba is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.768 billion Kaniki enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong Kaniki economy, worth 175 trillion kanis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 63,459 kanis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,387 per year while the poor average 17,417, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, democratic debates have been removed from the government, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and children are seen fighting in the playground for bread scraps that fall out of diamond-encrusted lunchboxes. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sameko Saba's national animal is the King crab, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Sameko Saba is ranked 85,639^th in the world and 3^rd in Neo Otaku Utopia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 205.02 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
