The Jingoistic States of Seculara is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, rampant corporate plagiarism, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 681 million Atheists are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fallen Frisco. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Secular economy, worth 92.6 trillion Sigils 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 135,939 Sigils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, school history books often refer to Leader as "that imperialist pig dog", the image of Seculara's future is just a picture from last century, and sweat stains are proof of political acumen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seculara's national animal is the Pterodactyl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Seculara is ranked 312,293rd in the world and 29th in Fallen Nations for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.94 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
