The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 36.217 billion Soemeosy enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snarf City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth a remarkable 8,320 trillion Ideas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 229,728 Ideas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 649,387 per year while the poor average 65,019, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, the nation leads the South Pacific in per capita stalking, there is something rotten in the state of Soem, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Soem's national animal is the Snarf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soem is ranked 5,082^nd in the world and 124^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 18,742.19 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
