The League of Schimata is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.804 billion Schimatans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarneia. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Schimatan economy, worth 347 trillion Schims a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,361 Schims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, cities are engulfed by smog, and most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schimata's national animal is the Lion Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Schimata is ranked 4,248^th in the world and 6^th in Esportiva for Safest, scoring 133.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
