The State of Samhainia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, cynical population of 43.457 billion Samhainians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Public Transport, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.9%.

The thriving Samhainian economy, worth a remarkable 2,666 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 61,353 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,171 per year while the poor average 12,514, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night, surveillance cameras are banned, and Samhainia has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samhainia's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Samhainia is ranked 12,283^rd in the world and 5^th in State for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 85.91 Effective Tax Rate.
