The Empire of United Somi is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.893 billion United Somians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient United Somian economy, worth 192 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 101,494 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Somi's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
United Somi is ranked 216,654th in the world and 6,994th in Osiris for Most Armed, with 0.18 Weapons Per Person.
