The Allied States of Simul Terras is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aashiesh with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.514 billion Simul Terrans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vita Nova. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Simul Terran economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 225,242 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Greenhouses are regularly raided by the police, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, superfoods are often seen as supervillains, and the endangered saltwater humpback cow is only seen in captivity programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Simul Terras's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Simul Terras is ranked 2,037^th in the world and 104^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 143.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
