The Lucky Golden Holey People of Soem is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pyt Snarkulton with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 29.36 billion Soemeosy hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snark City. The average income tax rate is 4.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth a remarkable 4,472 trillion Ideas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,341 Ideas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, Pyt Snarkulton's Twitcher account is typically used to share Snark memes rather than government policy, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Soem's national animal is the Snark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Soem is ranked 15,578th in the world and 180th in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 115.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
