The Community of Sometime is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 505 million Sometimeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Somewhere. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sometimean economy, worth 44.1 trillion Somethings a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,299 Somethings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, and dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Sometimean citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sometime's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sometime is ranked 17,087th in the world and 31st in Council of Asia for Most Cultured, scoring 93 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
