The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, vat-grown people, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 41.41 billion Soemeosy hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snarf City. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth an astonishing 11,653 trillion Ideas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 281,414 Ideas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students in Soem's schools rarely attend their classes, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, last minute own-goals raise the suspicious eyebrows of sporting authorities, and life is somewhat repetitive. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Soem's national animal is the Snarf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soem is ranked 1,700^th in the world and 19^th in the South Pacific for Largest Populations, with 41.4 billion capita.
