The United States of Smeeperia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Splice with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.258 billion Smeeperians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The not capital. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Smeeperian economy, worth 353 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,395 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Splice's most personal functions, bizarre-looking creatures called 'falcondogs' dominate wildlife preserves, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, and tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens. Crime is totally unknown. Smeeperia's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Smeeperia is ranked 40,751^st in the world and 2,045^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,008.79 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
