The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 36.159 billion Soemeosy enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snarf City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth a remarkable 8,262 trillion Ideas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 228,511 Ideas, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. 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 294,263rd in the world and 5,617th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
