The Federal Republic of Sepraza is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 171 million Seprazans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sepish economy, worth 17.6 trillion Seprazan dineroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 102,721 Seprazan dineroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Bigly crowds of election officials can be spotted at music festivals, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sepraza's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sepraza is ranked 63,089^th in the world and 1,074^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 102,721.64 Standard Monetary Units.
