The Dictatorship of Simbas is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Wolfgang Heiß with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.179 billion Simbasians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Simbansstadt. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Simbasian economy, worth 734 trillion ottas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,892 ottas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural Simbasians stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, most citizens in Simbas are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, tens of thousands of Simbasians rock the night away at the annual SuperLob, and recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Simbas's national animal is the löwe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Volk der göttlichen Aneinanderreihung.

Simbas is ranked 16,050^th in the world and 1,261^st in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 52.56 flags saluted per person per day.
