The United States of New samba is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Tommydagreat with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.069 billion Sambians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levi tan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.9%.
The strong Sambians economy, worth 68.3 trillion Simbabs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,930 Simbabs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,169 per year while the poor average 12,121, a ratio of 19.6 to 1.
Internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Tommydagreat to cartoon bears, Tommydagreat spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New samba's national animal is the Sambian Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
New samba is ranked 266,906th in the world and 669th in 10000 Islands for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 23.5 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
