The Republic of Samarithan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning giraffe population. The hard-working population of 8.593 billion Samarithanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 16.6%.

The Samarithanian economy, worth 406 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 47,349 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samarithan's national animal is the giraffe.

Samarithan is ranked 67,744^th in the world and 1,171^st in Artificial Solar System for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,175.27 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
