The Legal Hive Mind of Somacran is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Percentage Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.188 billion Somacranians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Changes Yearly. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Somacran economy, worth 96.7 trillion Quid a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,408 Quid, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes, only the richest get to see out of their windows, facial disfigurement is a leading cause of supervillainy, and the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Somacran's national animal is the Immortal Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Optimistic Realisim.

Somacran is ranked 126,392nd in the world and 45th in 001 Alpha Prime for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,408.07 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
