The Dictatorship of Samulate is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 549 million Samulateans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakeda. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Samulatean economy, worth 70.9 trillion Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,213 Rand, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, Leader tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samulate's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Samulate is ranked 131,593^rd in the world and 593^rd in Europeia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 824.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
