The Republic of Samgrad is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.575 billion Samgradians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Industry is also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Samgradian economy, worth a remarkable 2,291 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 106,189 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, human resources employees have time for hobbies as harassment is designated "high praise", and the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Samgrad's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Samgrad is ranked 292,865th in the world and 11,028th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
