The Queendom of Semiramis is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Semiramis with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.422 billion Semiramisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grovern. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Semiramisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 208,137 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, the government is spending billions of taxpayer yen to support "struggling" industries, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime is totally unknown. Semiramis's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Semiramis is ranked 314,460^th in the world and 4,413^th in Ambition for Most Conservative, scoring 4.08 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
