The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 41.595 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 1.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth an astonishing 10,637 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 frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 255,731 Ideas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Soem, life is somewhat repetitive, paleogeneticists have taken a Jurassic bite out of the budget, and the weather in Snarf City is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings'. 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 203^rd in the world and 7^th in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 98.91 percentage of bribes refused.
