The State of Smeaton is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 26.685 billion Smeatonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Law & Order, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Social Policy are ignored. The average income tax rate is 7.0%.

The strong Smeatonian economy, worth 924 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 34,631 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Smeaton is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, the mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Smeaton's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance, child labor has been outlawed, and foreigners are treated with great suspicion. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Smeaton's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Smeaton is ranked 214,084^th in the world and 2^nd in Sanaa for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 797.37 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
