The Empire of Symblestat is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cobra population. The quiet, industrious population of 13.557 billion Symblestatians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Symblestatian economy, worth 455 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,567 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Symblestat's national animal is the cobra.

Symblestat is ranked 78,061^st in the world and 2^nd in Omaha Pact for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 377.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
