The Dictatorship of Samulate is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 605 million Samulateans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakeda. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Samulatean economy, worth 80.1 trillion Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,473 Rand, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, and preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samulate's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Samulate is ranked 100,475^th in the world and 446^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,297.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
