The World of Simone Republic is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Simone with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.125 billion Simonians 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 Mona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Simonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,208 trillion Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 351,626 Gold Bars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,220,958 per year while the poor average 73,862, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime is totally unknown. Simone Republic's national animal is the Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is God.

Simone Republic is ranked 1,366^th in the world and 61^st in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 220.1 quips per hour.
