The Freople of Soem is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pyt Snarfulton with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 32.504 billion Soemeosy enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small 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 4.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soemeon economy, worth a remarkable 6,073 trillion Ideas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 186,844 Ideas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The atmosphere in Soemeon boardrooms is turning more gay, schoolchildren are divided over Pyt Snarfulton's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, the government has embraced apartheid, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Soemeon weed picker are way up. 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 268,060^th in the world and 10,611^th in the South Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -37.52 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
