The People's Republic of Samaltak True is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by La Première with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.994 billion Samaltakeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baie-Mahault. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Samaltakean economy, worth a remarkable 1,164 trillion Simoleons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 145,689 Simoleons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reams of paperwork signed in triplicate have taken the magic out of magic, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, and bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samaltak True's national animal is the Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Samaltak True is ranked 4,970th in the world and 117th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 168 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
