The Arctic Confederation of Samicana is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sämìllän Drìngstonänonìn with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.213 billion Samicanans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sämiikìndâk. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Samicanan economy, worth a remarkable 3,098 trillion Kârükhâns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 234,488 Kârükhâns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government finds the idea of having an army to be rather distasteful, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, and soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Samicana's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Samicana is ranked 292,352nd in the world and 4th in Girlbossia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -23.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
