The Theocracy of Samslvania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.282 billion Samslvanians 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 government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Environment, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 11.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Samslvanian economy, worth 79.2 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,799 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government prefers to leave the past buried, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, S-SPAN features senators wrestling with ever-increasing production elements, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Samslvania in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent. Samslvania's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Samslvania is ranked 240,559^th in the world and 106^th in Right to Life for Most Authoritarian, with 409.9 milliStalins.
