The People's Republic of Smen is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Raihau Timo with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.209 billion Smenians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koriban. The average income tax rate is 90.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Smenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,691 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 418,565 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

All work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, and it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smen's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Smen is ranked 290,081^st in the world and 7,088^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -658.22 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
