The Republic of Semarland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Palmer with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.385 billion Semars hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jansberg. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Semar economy, worth 870 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 76,497 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, a major religion has been named as Semarland's national religion, self-driving cars are unpopular due to suspicion that they murder their passengers, and diplomatic cables about President Palmer have suddenly been very flattering. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Semarland's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Semarland is ranked 112,493^rd in the world and 37^th in Anaia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
