The Christmas Community of Simone Republic is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Simone with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.181 billion Simonians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Simonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,658 trillion Mones a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 268,314 Mones, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,014,139 per year while the poor average 49,391, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

High school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, and Vampire is one of the most popular forenames in Simone Republic. Crime is totally unknown. Simone Republic's national animal is the Vampire, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is God.

Simone Republic is ranked 225,122^nd in the world and 11,969^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 2.22 crimes per hour.
