The Dictatorship of Simeon Eben Baldwin is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.309 billion Simeon Eben Baldwinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.8%.

The Simeon Eben Baldwinian economy, worth 402 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 48,430 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 159,116 per year while the poor average 11,053, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Thrift shops are closing their doors, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and the studies of art and philosophy are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Simeon Eben Baldwin's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Simeon Eben Baldwin is ranked 222,741^st in the world and 126^th in Ashen Fields for Smartest Citizens, with 18.42 quips per hour.
