The Commonwealth of Smadreades is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Makarov Silas with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.954 billion Smadreasians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Smadreadesian economy, worth 219 trillion Smarphyte Vaels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 112,548 Smarphyte Vaels, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and government election advice reads like a restaurant menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smadreades's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Elyrianism.

Smadreades is ranked 187,579^th in the world and 790^th in Europeia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 628.36 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
