The Red Plain of Sammuramat is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Enheduanna with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.411 billion Sammuramatis are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashurnasirpal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sammuramatian economy, worth a remarkable 3,336 trillion hyenas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 203,322 hyenas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,362,955 per year while the poor average 11,396, a ratio of 119 to 1.

The government prefers to leave the past buried, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, some magnifier-wielding Sammuramatis say Enheduanna seems a little lacking in something, and royals are always ready with their diamond-encrusted toilet plungers in case a royal flush doesn't work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Sammuramat's national animal is the hyena, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Sammuramat is ranked 392nd in the world and 3rd in Refugia for Most Primitive, scoring 384.43 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
