The Imperial State of Samonaemia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Samowasret I with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 24.883 billion Samonaemians 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 Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samo-Par. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Samonaemian economy, worth a remarkable 8,875 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 356,693 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, Empress Samowasret I's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and Samonaemian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Empress Samowasret I. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samonaemia's national animal is the Northern Feathered Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of Samonami.

Samonaemia is ranked 276,401^st in the world and 797^th in 10000 Islands for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 33.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
