The Colony of Samoni is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 953 million Samonians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 59.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Samonian economy, worth 19.0 trillion beacocas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 19,895 beacocas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", Samoni successfully hosted the military state of Deren Olympics, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Dragon Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Samoni's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Samoni is ranked 47,201st in the world and 7th in military state of Deren for Safest, scoring 103.78 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
