The Republic of Soamara is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 40 million Soamaris are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Soamari economy, worth 1.97 trillion maras a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,213 maras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, some say that Leader can't handle the truth but can handle truth-seekers, and the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soamara's national animal is the Eurasian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soamara is ranked 125,407^th in the world and 3^rd in Ieshus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,625.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
