The Dictatorship of Samsoc is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.878 billion Samsocians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.5%.

The all-consuming Samsocian economy, worth 433 trillion Dolls a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 150,594 Dolls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 447,106 per year while the poor average 39,792, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and beggars lack pockets for spare change. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samsoc's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Samsoc is ranked 35,825^th in the world and 2,293^rd in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,657.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
