The Federation of Greater Simcoe is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 686 million Greater Simcoeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The very strong Greater Simcoean economy, worth 48.5 trillion Simcoese Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 70,647 Simcoese Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 238,251 per year while the poor average 15,509, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

Citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, the end of autumn is celebrated with a bonfire of designer bags, and tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Greater Simcoe's national animal is the Moose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Greater Simcoe is ranked 42,473^rd in the world and 1,238^th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 15.36 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
