The Legal Hive Mind of Somacran is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Percentage Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.455 billion Somacranians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varies. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Somacran economy, worth 227 trillion Quid 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, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 92,792 Quid, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', citizens select which government department gets their income tax Quid each year, and people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Somacran's national animal is the Immortal Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Somacran is ranked 157,570^th in the world and 23^rd in 001 Alpha Prime for Most Extreme, scoring 18.43 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
