The Moonlands of Somsaara is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Moon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.754 billion Somsaarans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Education, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Somsaaran economy, worth 290 trillion crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 105,549 crowns, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

The cycle of extinction and rebirth is never ending, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Somsaara's national animal is the osprey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Celestial Orthodoxy.

Somsaara is ranked 268,689^th in the world and 1,162^nd in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 6.84 average smiles per day.
