The United States of Sevani is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Dumont with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.277 billion Sevanians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Sevanian economy, worth 416 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,324 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sevani's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Sevani is ranked 129,046^th in the world and 5^th in UEPU for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 886.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
