The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 37.3 billion Soemeosy enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
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 Snarf City. The average income tax rate is 3.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth a remarkable 8,506 trillion Ideas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 228,066 Ideas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
New funding allows inner city teachers to replace school laptops almost as fast as they get stolen, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, and the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award. 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 Snarf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Soem is ranked 260,847th in the world and 4,582nd in the South Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 25.42 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
