The Republic of Simont is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning dolphin population. The hard-working population of 531 million Simontians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.5%.

The Simontian economy, worth 23.4 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 44,055 pounds, 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. Simont's national animal is the dolphin.

Simont is ranked 165,597^th in the world and 1^st in Chicagoland for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,905.16 Standard Monetary Units.
