Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Allied States of 1samuri is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Fert Kased with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 1.966 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Defence and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fensah. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Retail and Tourism.

Artists are pillars of society, the space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits, all judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1samuri's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Islam, and its currency is the watel.

1samuri is ranked 1,942nd in 10000 Islands and 95,875th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
