The Republic of Simic Combine is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory vegetarianism, and hatred of cheese. The cynical population of 1.182 billion Simic Players are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Simic Combinean economy, worth 7.42 trillion Treasure Tokens 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 Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 6,278 Treasure Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sound of wooden legs echo throughout Simic Combine after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, the government records billions of hours of footage of trees, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, and teen boys and girls find stick-figure-aided lectures on their comradestruation emphasises socialist unity more than biology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Simic Combine's national animal is the Creature Token, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Simic Combine is ranked 255,089^th in the world and 238^th in Sertia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.25 percentage of bribes refused.
