“You Can't Stop Progress”

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

The United Socialist States of Simelia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.138 billion Simelians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Simelian economy, worth 53.4 trillion Simeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 46,907 Simeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Simelia's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Simelia is ranked 22,026^th in the world and 110^th in Refugia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,161.78 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
