The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth an astonishing 11,612 trillion Ideas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 280,246 Ideas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, life is somewhat repetitive, a rogue brutalist can cement their town in the past, and daydreaming on public transport is considered impolite.

Soem's national animal is the Snarf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soem is ranked 3,260^th in the world and 83^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,649.08 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
