The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The strong Secksian economy, worth 3.51 trillion Decks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 56,554 Decks, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and teenagers get their license without taking the test. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Secks's national animal is the Checks.

Secks is ranked 127,055^th in the world and 502^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Drug Use, scoring 128.38 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
