The Republic of Sedia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, flagrant waste-dumping, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 289 million Sedians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sedian economy, worth 18.3 trillion Rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,161 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Sedian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, being dead no longer has any benefits, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sedia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sedia is ranked 203,197^th in the world and 3,885^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
