The Federation of -Simo- is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, devout population of 4.965 billion -Simo-ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient -Simo-ian economy, worth 653 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 131,659 gambles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 402,805 per year while the poor average 33,333, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, overly distant dads are conscripted into national nappy service, whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of -Simo-ian Embarrassments, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Simo-'s national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Simo- is ranked 28,270^th in the world and 43^rd in Municipalities of Finland for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,755.11 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
