The Bounty Hunter of Power Suit Samus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Aran with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.091 billion Samusians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zebes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Samusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,740 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Gambling, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 172,454 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 623,633 per year while the poor average 34,033, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, genetic researchers have been expelled, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, and poverty is disloyal to the Motherland. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Power Suit Samus's national animal is the metroid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

Power Suit Samus is ranked 84,305th in the world and 8th in Warzone Sandbox for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 95.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
