The Empire of Samikalo is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 521 million Samikaloans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Samikaloan economy, worth 24.9 trillion Bnucks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,802 Bnucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Samikalo City, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Samikaloans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samikalo's national animal is the Karhu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Samikalo is ranked 98,195^th in the world and 12^th in Bloopsjooj for Safest, scoring 82.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
