The Dictatorship of Samulate is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 736 million Samulateans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized 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 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Samulatean economy, worth 100 trillion Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 136,008 Rand, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, multilingual concierges man empty inner city apartment blocks, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and homophobia is off the menu. 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 13,537^th in the world and 137^th in Europeia for Most Developed, scoring 89.06 on the Human Development Index.
