The Republic of Simo Hayha is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 2.599 billion Simo Hayhans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Simo Hayhan economy, worth 147 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,766 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, there's more pink stuff on sale these days, convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Simo Hayha's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Simo Hayha is ranked 63,656^th in the world and 202^nd in Concord for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
