The Kingdom of Samou is a massive, safe nation, ruled by JC Junior with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.528 billion Samouans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moorreesburg. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Samouan economy, worth 284 trillion Rand a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 112,441 Rand, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samou's national animal is the Springbok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Samou is ranked 53,422^nd in the world and 38^th in Empire of Great Britain for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 139.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
