The Republic of Smithiscia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 361 million Smithiscians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Écureuilville. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Smithiscian economy, worth 34.9 trillion Bonks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 96,765 Bonks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Child shoplifters spend half their youth behind bars, when their backs are against the walls Smithiscians look out for gay men, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, and they say that Smithiscians made a dessert and called it peace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Smithiscia's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Smithiscia is ranked 15,687^th in the world and 2^nd in Highspellia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 126.19 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
