The Samarium of SM is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 20.219 billion SMians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.2%.

The frighteningly efficient SMian economy, worth a remarkable 2,933 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,064 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette, commemoration of the Great The Misty Regiment War costs almost as much as the war itself, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, and the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SM's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SM is ranked 19,598^th in the world and 2^nd in The Misty Regiment for Most Developed, scoring 87.2 on the Human Development Index.
