The Republic of HMS SMH is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 5.341 billion HMS SMHians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient HMS SMHian economy, worth 485 trillion Ships a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,853 Ships, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HMS SMH's national animal is the Head, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
