The Federation of Samgreat is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Sam with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 7.219 billion Samyeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samcity. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Samyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,202 trillion Turs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 305,108 Turs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, Samyian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime is totally unknown. Samgreat's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Samgreat is ranked 65,958th in the world and 2,623rd in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,585.25 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
