The Plane lover of Greater Somoiland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by DEAREST LEADER with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.582 billion Mexicans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PSYCHOTIC CITY. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mexican economy, worth 381 trillion Cessna 172s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 83,162 Cessna 172s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', cute fluffy little DEAREST LEADERS are increasingly popular exotic pets, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Somoiland's national animal is the Tu-95 Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Planism.

Greater Somoiland is ranked 21,827^th in the world and 614^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 45.4 flags saluted per person per day.
