The Grand Federation of Smatania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Aushir Kaioso with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, devout population of 3.738 billion Smatani are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caraq City. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Smatani economy, worth 157 trillion Dugàns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,129 Dugàns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wandering Smatani are known for their one-track minds, the economy's basis is "from each according to his abilities and to each according to their accountants", any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smatania's national animal is the Smatani Black Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lejeunism.

Smatania is ranked 151,248^th in the world and 3,085^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 11.63 flags saluted per person per day.
