The Math State of Simultaneous Equations is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, rampant corporate plagiarism, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.891 billion Simultaneous Equationsians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Simultaneous Equationsian economy, worth 483 trillion Mathkorunas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 98,800 Mathkorunas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 324,007 per year while the poor average 22,611, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, it is a crime to operate a combine harvester while intoxicated, and most Mathkoruna coins are riddled with bite marks. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Simultaneous Equations's national animal is the Graphs, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Simultaneous Equations is ranked 256,570^th in the world and 56^th in Mathematica for Safest, scoring 15.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
