The Republic of Samiver is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 14 million Samiverians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.0%.

The strong Samiverian economy, worth 903 billion Ivers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,542 Ivers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Property values in suburbs have nosedived after the middle class were forced to live next door to ethnic minorities, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samiver's national animal is the Panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Samiver is ranked 114,313^th in the world and 56^th in Eurth for Highest Average Incomes, with 64,542.2 Standard Monetary Units.
