Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Gulfigan of Samos Gulf is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.347 billion Samos Hylian Gulfians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyberia. The average income tax rate is 62.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Samos Gulfian economy, worth 492 trillion Moons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 113,379 Moons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The "good old days" of road traffic accidents and smog-filled cities are back, boom-and-bust cycles are being peddled as economically inevitable, the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, and the new biography of Leader is subtitled "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate the Bomb". Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Samos Gulf's national animal is the Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Samos Gulf is ranked 213,332^nd in the world and 8,092^nd in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
