The Colony of Sim Hill is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 582 million Sim Hillians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.8%.

The very strong Sim Hillian economy, worth 34.6 trillion Territorial Dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,397 Territorial Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, supervisors in Sim Hill commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, and the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sim Hill's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sim Hill is ranked 208,983^rd in the world and 3^rd in Video games for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 837.32 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
