The Commonwealth of Samarantz is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Roger Morris with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 16.783 billion Samarantzians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corralis. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Samarantzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,369 trillion Allied Quens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 81,628 Allied Quens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Samarantz Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, and former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samarantz's national animal is the Red-Lipped Batfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Samarantz is ranked 72,711^th in the world and 2^nd in Highspellia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,857.66 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
