The People's Republic of Sekantar is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister James Grey with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.092 billion Sekantarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carents City. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sekantarian economy, worth 468 trillion Eurorubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 151,237 Eurorubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and relations with Merovingia are as cold as Sekantar's high-security cell blocks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sekantar's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sekantar is ranked 205,731^st in the world and 316^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 739.17 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
