The Republic of Smithiscia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 748 million Smithiscians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Écureuilville. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Smithiscian economy, worth 82.8 trillion Bonks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 110,633 Bonks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, one can wake up in Smithiscia and have breakfast in Bigtopia, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smithiscia's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Smithiscia is ranked 28,348th in the world and 4th in Highspellia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,750.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
