The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with a fair hand, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, devotion to social welfare, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 41.461 billion Soemeosy hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snarf City. The average income tax rate is 1.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth an astonishing 10,436 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 notable. Average income is an amazing 251,713 Ideas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Life is somewhat repetitive, the government's economic policy is "sort it yourself", astronomers are flocking to Soem to take advantage of its clear night skies, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. 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 331,673^rd in the world and 4,254^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 1.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
