The Sultanate of Somicstan is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by General-Abdukadir S Barre🎖️ with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.33 billion Somicstanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baidoa. The average income tax rate is 68.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Somicstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,167 trillion Somicstanian Shillings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 260,260 Somicstanian Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, the populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences, and prison officers are bribed not to take bribes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Somicstan's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam☪️.

Somicstan is ranked 6,296^th in the world and 1^st in East Africa for Lowest Crime Rates, with 116.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
