The Sultanate of Somicstan is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by General-Abdukadir S Barre🎖️ with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.199 billion Somicstanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baidoa. The average income tax rate is 70.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Somicstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,158 trillion Somicstanian Shillings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 263,263 Somicstanian Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, a stitch in time could see you serving nine, exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, and the road to capitalism has proved an epic drama of adventure and exploration. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Somicstan's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam☪️.

Somicstan is ranked 17,613^th in the world and 1^st in East Africa for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 329.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
