The State of Saimara is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 36.028 billion Saimarans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Saimaran economy, worth 606 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 16,830 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners are treated with great suspicion, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, Saimara has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Saimara in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saimara's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saimara is ranked 157,620^th in the world and 383^rd in State for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 714.99 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
