The Commonwealth of Samtskhe is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.127 billion Samtskheans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Samtskhean economy, worth a remarkable 1,266 trillion tenges a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,659 tenges, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's never "just a game" with Samtskhean sports fans, expats return home to a government devoid of social and environmental agencies, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samtskhe's national animal is the grasshopper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Samtskhe is ranked 10,806^th in the world and 120^th in Aetherius for Nudest, with 837 cheeks per square mile.
