The Republic of SIMERINGI is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Wielki Simering with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.03 billion SIMERINGIS are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SIMERINGI City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.
The frighteningly efficient SIMERINGIian economy, worth a remarkable 7,475 trillion plns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 414,635 plns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,316,731 per year while the poor average 99,475, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.
Commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, and the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events. Crime is totally unknown. SIMERINGI's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
SIMERINGI is ranked 343,813th in the world and 16,497th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 0.14 average smiles per day.
