The Change Agent of Simone Republic is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Simone with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.509 billion Simonians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mona. The average income tax rate is 12.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Simonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,209 trillion Mones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 400,550 Mones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, one can walk from one side of Mona to the other without setting foot on Simonian soil, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea. Crime is totally unknown. Simone Republic's national animal is the Salmon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is God.

Simone Republic is ranked 699^th in the world and 37^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,098.03 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
