The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 40.994 billion Soemeosy hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snarf City. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth an astonishing 11,199 trillion Ideas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 273,204 Ideas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life is somewhat repetitive, rundown towns are frequently sold to billionaires for their pet projects, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Soem's national animal is the Snarf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soem is ranked 306,222^nd in the world and 4,185^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
