The Federal Republic of Samrif

“Just another nation in this wide wild world of ours”

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

The Federal Republic of Samrif is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of prisons, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 664 million Samrifians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jikjusu. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Samrifian economy, worth 82.1 trillion Samrifian rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 123,640 Samrifian rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside. Crime is totally unknown. Samrif's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Samrif is ranked 18,607^th in the world and 74^th in Wintreath for Smartest Citizens, with 65.28 quips per hour.
