How did the Samaritan nation begin?
The Samaritans claim to be the remnant of the northern Kingdom of Israel that was not deported by the Assirian invasion. They may be correct, but when the Jews returned to Jerusalem and the surrounding lands of Judah after the Babylonian exile, the returning Jews did not accept the legitimacy of the Samaritans. As a result, the Samaritan Torah and the Jewish Torah have been independently and separately transmitted for over 2500 years. Most of the differences are minor differences in spelling and grammar.
Where did the good Samaritan come from?
They were from an area north of what we now call Israel called Samaria. When the Jewish exile ended in 538 BC and the exiles began returning home from Babylon, they found their former homeland populated by other people who claimed the land as their own and Jerusalem the capital, in ruins. The Persian Emperor Cyrus allowed this return of the exiles to their homeland and ordered the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. This was of extreme importance to the Jews as they believed that God 'dwelt' in this very temple. The local inhabitants of the land offered to assist with the building of the new temple during the time of Zerubbabel, but their offer was rejected. According to Ezra, this rejection precipitated a further interference not only with the rebuilding of the temple but also with the reconstruction of Jerusalem. The history is not clear on this matter, but one possibility is that these "people of the land" were thought of as Samaritans. We do know that Samaritan and Jewish conflict increased, and that the Samaritans eventually built their own temple on Mount Gerizim. As the Jews worshipped God in their own Temple - which they believed was his 'home' - this setting up of a rival 'Temple' was not only seen as sacrilege to the Jews, but to them it was the greatest insult that could be bestowed on God. Therefore Jews and Samaritans not only hated each other - they absolutely detested each other. Therefore in Jesus' fictional story of the 'Good Samaritan' - the only person out of three (the other two being 'holy' Temple officials!!) who passed by a wounded man who showed any compassion - the choice of a Samaritan showed up just how hypocritical the pompous and pious religious leaders could be.

What is the difference in a Samaritan and a Samarian?
Samaritans are an offshoot sect of Judaism that live primarily in Samaria. It may be that Samaria is named after Samaritans, or visa versa, but even 2000 years ago, there were more non-Samaritans living in Samaria than there were Samaritans, and the word Samarian can be used for any resident of that land. Today, there are about 2000 Samaritans living in Israel and the West Bank, all within an easy trip from their sacred mountain, Mount Gezarim, which is near Nablus.

What and To whom does good samaritan law apply?
So-called 'good samaritan' laws were written to protect persons attempting to give life-saving first aid at the scene of accidents (vehicular in particular) that inadvertently/mistakenly resulted in either death or great lasting physical harm/impairment to the person(s) saved (i.e.: passerby pulls someone from certain death in a burning car but that same effort results in the person being disabled for the rest of their life.) As long as the treatment given was not proveably criminally negligent then the "aid-giver" is protected from a liability suit.
