The United Kingdom of Samosil is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Felipe ll with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.165 billion Samosilians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vascotopia. The average income tax rate is 32.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Samosilian economy, worth 319 trillion Samols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 100,907 Samols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Religious education is a new government priority, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, and cars are allowed to drive in bike lanes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Samosil's national animal is the Cachorro caramelo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cachorro caramelismo.
Samosil is ranked 21,223rd in the world and 11th in Portugal for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 68,314.5 Standard Monetary Units.
