The Republic of SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.261 billion SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEian economy, worth 483 trillion Bolts a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,904 Bolts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Foreign nationals are widely distrusted, the SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, and the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is ranked 27,573rd in the world and 18th in Sunset Shimmer for Most Beautiful Environments, with 867.77 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
