The Dictatorship of Samulate is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 586 million Samulateans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakeda. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Samulatean economy, worth 76.5 trillion Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,590 Rand, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Corrupt paupers spend taxpayer Rand on liquor and tobacco, the only way for immigrants to get into office is as a janitor, people with dyslexia are told to tough through it, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samulate's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Samulate is ranked 96,712^th in the world and 428^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,400.97 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
