The Bounty Hunter of Power Suit Samus is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Aran with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.94 billion Samusians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zebes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Samusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,714 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Gambling, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 172,506 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 621,580 per year while the poor average 34,234, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, citizens drive tank-like vehicles with mounted machine guns, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the PSSBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Power Suit Samus's national animal is the metroid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

Power Suit Samus is ranked 291,058th in the world and 20th in Warzone Sandbox for Lowest Crime Rates, with 23.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
