The Holy Empire of Sephyzstan is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 558 million Sephyzstanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Sephyzstanian economy, worth 18.7 trillion Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,422 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Sephyzstan City for fear of causing a fuss, garden flower shows rarely smell of roses, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sephyzstan's national animal is the Bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sephyzstan is ranked 181,447^th in the world and 8,075^th in Balder for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,281.6 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
