The Democratic States of Sam Kingenn is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 688 million Sam Kingennians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Sam Kingennian economy, worth 44.5 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,643 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Sam Kingenn's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Sam Kingenn is ranked 162,342nd in the world and 17th in SCCTCRichard for Most Patriotic, with 7.88 flags saluted per person per day.
