The Democratic Republic of Samuels Backyard is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 206 million Samuels Backyardians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.6%.

The sizeable but inefficient Samuels Backyardian economy, worth 7.63 trillion Grass Seeds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,061 Grass Seeds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Samuels Backyard" on tails, the loom represents the height of Samuels Backyard's technology, and the Samuels Backyard Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samuels Backyard's national animal is the Fire Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Samuels Backyard is ranked 42,766^th in the world and 7^th in HVMUN for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 49.24 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
