The Republic of Simitistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 1.102 billion Simitistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Simitistanian economy, worth 46.2 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 41,950 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, military spending is on the increase, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Simitistan's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Simitistan is ranked 293,072^nd in the world and 4^th in Vurkianverse for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,465.92 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
