The Community of Sometime is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 558 million Sometimeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Somewhere. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sometimean economy, worth 48.6 trillion Somethings a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,067 Somethings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, lending money has become a major liability, government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support', and it's best not to ask what goes into Somewhere Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sometime's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sometime is ranked 329,493rd in the world and 852nd in Council of Asia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
