The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 41.559 billion Soemeosy hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snarf City. The average income tax rate is 1.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth an astonishing 10,489 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 notable. Average income is an amazing 252,396 Ideas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Mourners at funerals are ticketed for trespassing, Pyt Snarfulton's reputation is hard as nails, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, and life is somewhat repetitive. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Soem's national animal is the Snarf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soem is ranked 75,733^rd in the world and 863^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,884.81 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
